Summary: I've always wanted to talk to my pets
Comment: We love this book- what child wouldn't? Martha is a great character; someone I'd love even as a human or an ordinary dog, but as a talking dog, she's great! She has sufficient depth that I'm not left feeling that something important has been left out. The illustrations are wonderful as well- portly Martha ordering lots of meat from the butcher- very nice.

Summary: A very cute and funny book.
Comment: I think one should buy hardcover books for children. Children should own books to start a life-long love of books. They should be hardcover books because they last longer and can be passed between the generations. But, the hardcover books we buy should be only good books. Martha Speaks is a good book. The character of Martha the dog is very appealing. She is cute but kind of homely with a lot of charm.
As you can imagine, a dog who acquires the ability to speak has a lot to say. One thing we have enjoyed reading this book to our children is to allow the young readers to read the text in the cartoon balloons. There are a lot of these in the book and much of silliness is spoken here. My children, ages 5 and 7, find this book very funny. It could also be educational, but I don't worry about that. If you begin with fun books then educational books will follow later.
There are a few other Martha books available and they have their own charm as well. I recommend checking out all the other books by this author.

Summary: Martha Speaks to Adults
Comment: The story of Martha Dog's development into speaking family member amused my 5-year-old daughter, but the hand-written words emanating from Martha's mouth confused her. No wonder: they're not designed for the same audience. The story was created for young readers, while Martha's monologues and asides are intended for adults.
