Less is definitely more in this fetching, fun-filled mix of dog, chick and stick, guaranteed to tickle all.

A great dual-purpose title that will serve both very young picture-book audiences and barely emergent readers, this will be a happy collection workhorse. Workdog?

This clever and appealing glimpse into the start of some delightful friendships is one doggone good time.

The handful of words per page play with meaning via order and context à la Gravett’s Apple Pear Orange Bear (rev. 7/07), allowing readers to flesh out the story themselves and encouraging independent reading. “Go, Smick, go!” cheers the narrator, in homage to the classic Eastman easy reader.Readers will cheer along.

A great example of how to get maximum fun out of the minimum amount of lines.
