Hello, friends! Our book today is A Day With Dogs by Dorothée de Monfreid, a positively wonderful book of words, letters, numbers and animals for beginning readers.

Follow a motley crew of dogs as they wake up, get ready for the day, visit the city and the countryside, go shopping, prepare meals, and head to bed. On each page is a new setting and subject, labeling the lively illustrations with dozens of worlds for young readers to learn as they explore.

Listen, JJ almost always likes our review book, but it’s worth noting how much she ADORED this one. The intricately detailed and labeled illustrations are inspired by the work of Richard Scarry, and they create the same sort of excitement and interest I remember having when I read his books myself as a little one. JJ was enthralled with each page, which was filled with new and familiar words and concepts to learn. She eagerly pointed to the ones she knew, and just as eagerly asked to have the unfamiliar ones read to her. She was very excited to pour over it long after storytime had ended, and that’s always a good sign. We would highly recommend this to any curious little bookworm, especially a dog-loved. As for us, we’ll be adding it to our home library as soon as possible! Emphatically Baby Bookworm approved!
