I chose this book because it was about a
dog and that is my favorite kind of animal. This book is about a dog named
Bobo. He tries to learn how to be a good
dog and while Mrs. Birdhead is out, the cat tries to teach him how to sit,
heel, fetch, lie down, shake, and fetch.
The Illustrations in this book are made
using acrylics. Many of the pictures in the book look as if they were drawn and
then painted. The illustrations in this book are very basic. They do not depict
very much detail.
This book would be good to use with lower
elementary kids when discussing how they should behave. Students could compare
and contrast how the rules Bobo had to follow are different than the rules we
have to follow. Also the teacher could
use this story when working with comprehension by having the students make a
list of things that they remember the dog learning to do. The teacher could also have the students to discuss if the story is fiction or nonfiction
and would we really see a cat teaching a dog how to do these things. This book
does not have any awards.
