Reviews

"Young readers will be easily won over by the plump, eager, stubby-limbed pup..." -- Booklist

"A hilarious selection that's sure to please a picture book crowd, particularly one composed of children fascinated by dogs, sharks, or both." -- School Library Journal

"The absurd notion of a semi-canine, semi-aquatic pet, complete with long, slobbery tongue and pointy, daggerlike teeth, will delight young readers who love land and sea creatures." -- School Library Journal

"Fans of Eric Carle's The Mixed-Up Chameleon will enjoy this rollicking, goofy, wholly unconventional picture book." -- School Library Journal
