Review
A dog’s-eye view of a trip to a park. Whether walking alongside a child in a stroller, sitting with their owner on a blanket, going down the slide with the children, or just running around playing with their canine friends, these pups are truly enjoying being outside. The pages depicts a variety of families with their pets engaged in many outdoor activities. The pen-and-ink, watercolor, and colored pencil illustrations capture a wide array of breeds and types of dogs. The rhyming text is limited to a sentence or two per page. After a day of sunshine and frolic, “Dogs take a drink. Dogs yawn and blink. Dogs in a heap. Dogs go to sleep...and dream in the dark...Park! Park! Park!” VERDICT An upbeat and exuberant read-aloud for dog lovers everywhere. Great for one-on-one, storytime, or class visit to the library. -- School Library Journal ― March 2018

About the authors
ABOUT TRUDY KRISHER
Trudy Krisher has a reputation as a trailblazer in writing and speaking out about sensitive issues surrounding self-identity, race, and gender through her fictional works. Similar to her protagonists Maggie from Spite Fences and Pert from Kinship, Krisher grew up in the South. Born in Macon, Georgia, in 1946, she was raised in South Florida.
“It doesn‘t take much to get me inspired!” says Krisher, “Usually, I want to write about people who are living out the questions on my mind.“
In each of her books, Krisher wrestles with difficult questions that each of her heroines needs to face. For Spite Fences, Maggie Pugh asks herself, “Why do people try to wall each other out with fences?”
“In my novels, I enjoy exploring a variety of artistic approaches that manifest themselves in unique creative forms. However, most important to me is always the audience for whom I write. Speaking to audiences of young adults–offering whatever insights I can about the world they will soon be entering– is among my most enjoyable experiences.“
Trudy Krisher is the recipient of an International Reading Association Award. Her books have been named ALA Best Books for Young Adults; a Jefferson Cup Honor Book of the Virginia Library Association; a Parents‘ Choice Honor Book; a winner of The Tennessee Volunteer State Book Award; and the Amelia Bloomer Project Recommended Books and more.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2022It’s cute for dog lovers who have children
- Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018Simple rhymes give way to colorful descriptions in this tale of dogs and their undying love for a space that they can call their very own. They find that in Bark Park. Trudy Krisher's picture book is a wonderful way for children to learn language, understand rhythm/rhyme, and gain an appreciation for how much fun owning a dog is (and seeing their playful nature in action). Highly recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2019Great story, fun concept, great illustrations and the perfect amount of words for a toddler bedtime story. Love this book for my kids and also enjoy gifting it.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2024The book has a cute rhyming cadence and storyline. Unfortunately, there are a few pages depicting a homosexual couple which doesn’t line up with our family’s sexual ethic. If that’s a concern for you too, don’t bother buying.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2019An inventive tale for the younger set, with effective, engaging illustrations to help visualize the story for pre-readers and those beginning to read. (The book was shipped to me with a torn jacket, however, a first in 21 years of ordering from Amazon, which turned this 5-star book into one of 4 stars.)
- Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2021My son loves this books and wants to read it every day.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 18, 2018A slice of reading heaven for dog lovers! Dogs, dogs, and more dogs do their thing set to rhyme in the dog park.
Written by Trudy Krisher, illustrated by Brooke Boynton-Hughes and published by Beach Lane Books.
