Dog's Noisy Day

Emma Dodd. Dutton Books, $14.99 (32pp) ISBN 978-0-525-47015-1

The capering canine from Dog's Colorful Day (see p. 70) returns in another learning adventure for the preschool set, Dog's Noisy Day: A Story to Read Aloud by Emma Dodd. This time Dog's day brims with onomatopoeic sounds from the ""grrrr!"" of his stomach to the ""cock-a-doodle-dooooo!"" of the rooster on a nearby farm. Each noise appears in bold capital letters and exclamation points against a bright, solid backdrop filled with sunny-faced cartoon animals.
