I've been taking the opportunity to read any picture books that I can right now as they are usually so bright and positive, and I’m always on the look-out for new story time books.

‘The Biggest Dog in the Book’ is a perfect story time book as kids always seem to love dogs and the dog illustrations in here are so fun.

It also works really well in that there is very little text on each page and the text is following a path of smallest to biggest which is a nice concept for children who seem to understand that well, and you can play the games of ‘Do you think Holly is the biggest dog?’ with the children to help pull them through the story with you.

The defining of each dog by traits such as waggy tail and speed gives younger readers something to help separate each dog and give them something to play with.

It was also fun throwing in a non-dog for the children to shout ‘That’s not a dog’ at, and each page seems to have little surprises to point out the children as the book is being read.

A great fun read that has lots of potential and family appeal.

I received this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This book was an excellent illustrated book about all different kinds of dog breeds. It was an easy book to read and share with my son, with clear pictures, repetitive language and fun lines about different dogs.

This book would be great for those of a Pre-School age, but my six year old son also really enjoyed it.

A light-hearted picture book all about dogs, different breeds and there personalities
Lovely illustrations and fun, repetitive language, great for younger kids.
I could have happily read more, with even more dog types.

Excellent cute book for very young readers/toddlers and makes for a good bed time read.
It helps with the adjectives and the encouragement, the lesson and the engagement are all top level for the 0-3-year-olds. Many 4-6 yos would also enjoy this.
