- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2017My 18 month old Nephew LOVES dogs. Sometimes the easiest way to keep him distracted is to show him pictures of dogs so I thought what better than to get him a picture book with lots of dogs. This book was perfect. I got it as a board book edition as those with young children know, are harder to destroy than paper. Its a very simple and easy story to read and the pictures are nice and colourful. A definite favourite in his home library!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2023Kids love seeing the different dogs on pages.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 31 August 2016A beautiful book that is loved by my little one. Each dog is beautifully drawn and my baby strokes each one. It's a favourite which is greeted with giggles each time we take it off the shelf (which can be several times a day!).

5.0 out of 5 stars Good purchase
Wonderful illustrations and story. Gave it as a gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome gift.
We received this book as a gift and is now one of our go-to gifts to give. Excellent book for the little ones. Littlest pays attention to it, good for the pre-readers to memorize and "read" and great for an early reader too (we have one of each, haha!)

5.0 out of 5 stars 優しい犬の絵本
犬が好きな娘のために購入。
タイトル通り、いろんな犬が出てきます。大きな犬小さな犬、ゆっくりな犬速い犬。
絵も優しい色彩で、大人が見ていても癒されます。
一歳二ヶ月の娘の反応も良いです。何回読んでも飽きず、わんわん!わんわん!と言いながらページをめくっていき、出てきた犬が全部勢揃いしたページで、どの犬が好き?とするのがお気に入りのようです。

A. CastronovoReviewed in Italy on 23 November 2015
5.0 out of 5 stars Ottimo libro sugli opposti!
I protagonisti del libro sono cani di ogni aspetto e dagli atteggiamenti più svariati, raffrontati in modo opposto (es. grande-piccolo, trasandato-elegante, buono-cattivo...). Il finale è sorprendente dato che vi è un inaspettato narratore!
I cani sono disegnati molto bene e sono resi buffi dalle loro espressioni. Il testo è essenziale e consiglio l'acquisto di questo libro in formato cartonato, più adatto ai piccolissimi.
