I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words by Michael Frith


The text in this book is a long poem with illustrations. It is about a boy imagining what would happen if he taught his dog 100 words. As the dog learns more and more words his fame grows and so does his owners.

This is a good book for early elementary readers. The dog doing things dogs don't normally like painting or driving would probably delight young children while at the same time helping them learn about different actions and what they look like. The dog learns words about colors, times of day, different occupation, etc. This would be a good book to help broaden young children's vocabularies through a catchy poem.
