Summary: A Top Ten for Special Needs kids
Comment: Great for kids with very short attention spans. The art is fabulous and the text is simple yet engaging. This little dog has an interesting day. I especially like the fact that the dog stands up to the two boys who stole his money! Parents can easily fill in the few pages that have no text, because the images themselves tell such a great story. I recommend buying the hardcover version used from a trusted Amazon marketplace seller.

Summary: An (Irish) Gem of a book
Comment: This is a super, super book. Filled with gorgeous pictures and minimal text, the story follows a small dog called Paddy during his day off from working with the lovely acrobat Trilby O'Farrell. On this day he always takes his pay in a little purse and goes to town to spend it. We follow him from the shops, to the barber, to his little adventure when two naughty boys try to steal his money, and we even accompany him to his visit to the cinema to see Lassie in action. This is a wonderful book for younger children as the pages are stuffed full of colorful detail that bring Paddy to life, in fact the text is incidental as it is easy enough to follow the story without any words. Once again it is a shame that this book is out of print but if you can get hold of a copy I am sure that both you and your children will really appreciate this funny, and delightful little story.

Summary: WOOF! A Page Turner!
Comment: This is one of my favorite books for children 18 months and up. Its zestful combination of simplicity and wit make it a winner for older children (3-5) and the glorious drawings of Ireland and a very cute puppy will win the hearts of younger kids. And what dog- (or Ireland-) loving adult can resist a story with a dog who goes to see "Lassie" and has a fine pint of suds in a local pub?

Humorous, yet calming, this is a glorious book for bedtime memories. Worth looking for!
