Uh-oh! An excitable (but very lovable) dog has found his way into this book of animals, and he will not let any of the other animals share the spotlight. Dogs are far more important, after all! And when the other animals get angry, this dog comes up with a cunning plan to outwit them.

Editorial Reviews

Review

This winsome story takes the premise of a child's first animal-identification picture dictionary (in fact the crossed-out title on the cover is My First Animal Book; the title is written beneath it in crayon) that has been hijacked by the first animal presented in the book: a dog...If readers aren't laughing out loud by now, they aren't ready for this kind of metafictive play—give it a few months and bring it back out. A clever, wonderfully silly, delightful romp.
—Kirkus Reviews

With bright-colored backdrops, Collins’s silly scenes focus all the attention on the titular dog, whose troublemaking manages to introduce a bit of meta fun.
—Publishers Weekly

Bought this as a follow up Ross Collins purchase - as I loved 'There's a bear in my chair' - although a fun and colourful book - it's a picture book rather than a story book - still good - just not what I expected / wanted really

2.0 out of 5 stars Too short for my 4 Y/O
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 14, 2021

After receiving Octopus Shocktopus as a present we had high hopes, but although this is rated at the same age group its mile behind.
Very few words (3 or 4 per double page) and little story.

We're use to reading Dr Seuss books, ginger bread man and all sorts.
Don't get me wrong got some laughs but this won't be a regular bedtime story and only a minute read.
