Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-K—One warm, sunny day, crowds of people and small dogs swarm a nearby park to celebrate Dachshund Day. Bedecked in colorful costumes, dachshunds arrive in groups and bring smiles to the faces of all. Balloons, songs, and tasty treats abound as dachshunds and the people who love them come together to savor the sights, smells, and sounds of this fun-filled day. Digitally rendered illustrations incorporate the feeling of a sunny day through texture, shading, and warm colors. Many of the angles are low, highlighting the short stature of these iconic dogs against the legs of nearby adults. The people are depicted in a variety of skin tones; one child is using a wheelchair. The illustrations are the unquestionable focus of this story, as the brief text is carefully placed so as not to interfere with them. Singsong, rhyming couplets are found on nearly every page and are ideally suited to a preschool audience. Though the meter is not consistent from page to page, it is nonetheless an enjoyable story to read aloud. Each page features an increasing number of dachshunds, from one to twelve, reinforcing counting skills. VERDICT Those who love dachshunds will enjoy sharing this delightful story with the young children in their lives.—Mary Lanni, formerly at Denver P.L.

Review

"Required reading for every dog lover!" -- Lisa Von Drasek, Children's Librarian, Bank Street College on MAY I PET YOUR DOG?

"How do you combine counting, dachshunds, and adorableness in one book? You do it with vivid illustrations, rhyming language, and a parade of costumed pups... By the time kids reach the story's end, they'll want to sing along with the closing song:"We love dachshunds, short and long. / They are bold, and they are strong. / They are loyal. They are proud. / They may be small, but their barks are LOUD!" ... Delightful dachshund facts round things off in the back matter." -- Booklist

"Dachshunds descend in a parade that celebrates their adorableness. A pack of delightful dachshunds (one of which informs readers dachshund is pronounced "DOX-hund") dashes down the street on their way to a Dachshund Day celebration... The cartoon art portrays dachshunds in all their diverse glory... The multitudinous types of dachshunds are not the only diversity in the book. There is nearly as much seen among the children... A parade of charm." -- Kirkus Reviews

We have dachshunds and we loved this book. My son loves books that rhyme and this one does. The illustrations are adorable and I love that they show all different coat types and colors. I also like that they included a person in a wheelchair in the illustrations which is unusual for a children's book. Love the inclusion.

I bought this book for my niece's 2nd birthday. She is obsessed with dogs and loves my two dachshunds so I just had to get her this book. The illustrations are beautiful and the story tells little dachshunds parading through town in the most adorable costumes.

This book is a counting book, an accumulating story and the illustrations give details that delight. The world of the book contains all sorts of people and many imaginative dog costumes. We bought it for our granddaughters second birthday and believe that it will be a favourite in the years to come. Her parents particularly enjoyed the illustrated guide to the variations of the breed.
