review 1: I Want dog is a great book that I believe every child will be able to relate to. Every child wants to have a dog and some parents are just not willing. Just like in the book I'm sure every child has tried to devise a plan to get a dog from their parents. If not every child has tried to get something their parents said they could not have. This book is so cute and relate able it will definitely be apart of my classroom library.
review 2: This is a wonderful tale of finding a way to get what you want within the evil constraints that your parents set for you. Lisa wants a dog, but her parents say that their apartment is too small. Lisa asks constantly for a dog, does her chores nicely to get a dog, has tantrums to get a dog, and reasons with her parents to get a... more dog. Still, she has no dog. But on her own, she finds a compromise, a solution that will make everyone happy. Though this is not always possible, I like that it shows how patience and creativity can be rewarded. I don't like that she puts out signs with her address without her parents' permission, but hey, it's just a book. With fun illustrations and a short, but engaging narrative, our girls really enjoyed this story. less
