Yip Snap Yap! By Charles Fuge

"Dinner time for greedy dog . . . Chomp, Munch, Chew!

Curl up with a sleepy dog . . . Hrumph, Zzzzz, Phew!"

For all you doggy, puppy lovin kids out there... this is the book for you! It is another Charles Fuge book, I just can't help myself. It is very cute and totally worth reading though.

This book explores lots of different types of dogs, which means you get to use lots and lots of describing words and play with different sounds and do fun comparisons too. Great for a straight bedtime read, or to use as a discussion book too.

Its a wonderful rhyming book, a quality that, if done well, will win me over every time! And once again Charles Fuge delivers illustrations that are just as fun to look at as the book is to read! LOVE IT!

Activities to do with this book:

* Ask the children to think of some other types of dogs that they could add to the story. They may be able to talk about their own dog, or think of some dogs in their own neighbourhood.

* Have the children act out and pretend to be the different dogs as you read about them and make the sounds the dogs make in the story too! ;o)
