Why read it?
2 authors picked Martha Speaks as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Martha Speaks is a classic for good reason. How can you not get attached to a dog who is fed vegetable soup that goes to her brain, not her stomach, and then is able to speak--incessantly? This fun book is the basis for the Emmy-nominated PBS TV series of the same name. Read and watch away!
From Elizabeth's list on for dog lovers.
This book is well written. It is not a cavalcade of exotic words. It is not filled with clever conundrums. It is a rock-solid story about a dog that starts to speak after eating Alphabet Soup. Who could resist that idea? Also, once the dog starts talking she can’t shut up, and I can relate to that as well.
