review 1: The book is about a dog named Dog. Dog wants to be the best at everything. Throughout the book he challenges his friends and beats them at different competitions. This makes Dog very boastful. However, his boastfulness is cut short when he realises that some of his other friends are actually better than him at many things. This humbles him, and he realises how mean he was to his friends. In the end, he apologises and they accept his apology. I liked the book because it conveys a moral message. It basically teaches children why showing off is not a good trait. The book also has many colourful pictures which brings the story to life, and doesn't contain any difficult words. The appropriate age range for this book is 3-5 years. This book would be good for independent re... moreading and to have it on a class bookshelf.
review 2: This book brought tears to my eyes. The dog is over boastful and makes his friends feel bad every time dog says he is better than they are. Then the friends boast back and dog realizes how bad it feels to be put down. But the friends love him no matter what and that is what makes dog the best. I love the story's message as it is perfect for a young, learning, age group. My only negative is that the illustrations are rather messy which makes it less pleasing to look at.Would I recommend this book? YES. Especially for reading to younger children in group settings. less
