Why read it?

1 author picked Cool Dog, School Dog as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I love the playful language of this book.

As someone who enjoys writing in rhyme myself, I appreciate the easy-flowing text that’s fun to read aloud. I also love the character of Tinka, a dog who has a lot of fun, maybe a bit too much fun!

This is definitely one of those picture books that can be read many times to kids and they won’t get bored.
