Overview / 简介: |
Please Take Me for a Walk is a celebration of dogs and kids and community.
The book stars a very persuasive pup pleading with his best friend—the reader!—to take him for a walk. He recounts all the fun things they can see and do: chase squirrels in the yard, greet neighbors on their block, visit the shopkeepers downtown, swing by the schoolyard, and then run and play in the park. The dog run at the park is filled with all kinds of amazing purebreds and mutts, and our puppy wants them all to see "my best friend and me."

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 1—The star of this book, a fuzzy white terrier, is the quintessence of dogdom. The title serves as a refrain, and at each repetition children see only the pup against a green background, looking hopeful and appealing as he romps around on his red-and-white gingham leash. The other pages are awash with charming autumnal scenes that depict the heart of a village and all the happy activities the dog envisions himself engaging in: "I need to chase away the neighbor's cat,/send the birds back to their nests,/and keep the squirrels high up in the trees…." This is readers' opportunity to enjoy many aspects of their own world through the safety and enthusiasm of the animal's eyes. Children will appreciate the vitality and diversity in each picture, executed in charcoal on paper with digital collages. They'll see families in the park, stores with friendly proprietors, houses, sidewalks, vehicles, mail carriers, and a spectacular variety of other dogs. The collages contribute a riot of texture and color to each page. This delightful addition will have children voicing a request very much like the pup's: to get out and interact with their communities.—Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Both my 5 year old and I loved this charming children's book!
This cute little dog on the cover wants to go for a walk. In order to persuade you, she takes you on a tour of her neighborhood, which is wonderfully diverse and beautifully illustrated.
The illustrations in this picture book are both simple and engaging, and at the same time interesting enough that each time we read this book, my son discovers something new about one of the pages - "Look Mommy! That doggie in the window is waiting for a walk too!"
My 5 year old couldn't wait to read the book, and giggled when the butcher game the dog a bone, and again when the dog showed him her belly. Giggles are good!
This is a great book to remember if the teacher asks me to come in to read to the class!
