review 1: Dream Dog is a sweet tribute to the power of imagination and the special bond between a boy and his pet. Catrow's trademark, offbeat illustrations and Berger's humorous text combine to tell the dynamic story of young Harry's quest for a pet. From the wacky, color-changing lizard to the cloud-like fluffiness of Waffle the dog, Harry's world is brought to exuberant, fanciful life. Lou Berger, a head writer for Sesame Street for 11 years, expertly handles the fine line between reality and imagination, as Harry struggles between his beloved imaginary dog and his new real-life one. The book ends with Waffle, having served his purpose, racing after a cloud and floating away, while Harry and his new best friend snuggle up to read a book. A buoyant, yet thoughtful examination of a... more common childhood experience - imaginary friends.
review 2: Harry's father is allergic to dogs, which means Harry can never have one, no matter how much he asks. His dad gets him a chameleon, hoping it will satisfy Harry... and he does like it, but it's not a dog. So one day puts on his X-35 Infra-Rocket Imagination Helmet and dreams up a dog who won't trouble his father's allergies. Waffle is wonderful and it doesn't matter in the least that no one else can see her! Humorous and colorful illustrations complement this wonderful tale about creativity and the incomparable love between a boy and his dog! I adore DREAM DOG! less
