Tiny is not obeying. He won't come when Elliot calls him, and he rolls over when he tells him to "sit." Looks like somebody needs to go back to school! Cari Meister uses simple language in this new level 1 reader to instill confidence in beginning readers. And because of that, it is a book young children learning to read will come back to over and over again!

      When Tiny fails to do any of his tricks-sit, stay, shake-his owner decides it's time for the anything-but-tiny dog to go back to school.The first spread sets readers up for some laughs: "Tiny is a good dog. He does what I say. / Watch." But when the boy says, "Sit, Tiny," the enormous dog lies on his back and looks at his pal. "Oh no!" The boy's requests that Tiny shake and stay yield similar results. So, it's off to Happy Dog School, which Tiny is at first reluctant to approach, until he sees all the other dogs there. (They don't even reach his belly.) In fact, Tiny is so excited by the other dogs that he misbehaves even more. The teacher's dog treats get Tiny in line, and he turns out to be a wonderful role model for the others. This Level 1 reader has a limited vocabulary (fewer than 55 words), and most sentences are just two or three words long, located against white backgrounds at the bottoms of the pages. The pictures are bright and colorful, helping kids decode words without telling the entire story.Never underestimate the power of a treat to motivate. (Early reader. 4-6)

      PreS-Gr 1-In this installment in the emergent-reader series, a dog roughly the size of an elephant is not well behaved. His owner, an expressive, bespectacled boy, decides that Tiny needs to go back to obedience school. The pup doesn't shine until the doggy num-nums come out. After that he improves his behavior and becomes a role model for the other doggy students. Short, simple sentences are paired with funny cartoon illustrations of an assortment of canines and one beleaguered child, making this a good choice for the very earliest readers.-Melisa Bailey, Harford County Library System, MD

      Tiny, a friendly, oversize dog, needs to brush up on "sit," "stay," and "shake," so his boy owner takes him back to Happy Dog School. The accessible vocabulary, large type, short sentences, and emotive art on clean pages work well for beginning readers, who will enjoy the comically large dog's behavioral shift when the teacher arrives with a bag of "Doggie num-nums."
