| Kindergarten-Grade 3-Martha the talking dog has yet another adventure. This time, the loquacious canine has the unfortunate experience of having a noisy neighbor move in with his bad dog. Bob is always barking and his owner is always screaming at him. When the offensive animal starts to pick on the neighborhood dogs, Martha speaks up. A beautifully creative name-calling chase ensues. "You mangy mongrel/crummy cur/big baboon," she taunts. However, she later finds that a talking parrot's praise is far more effective at controlling the bully's behavior, and his owner learns to calm him with sweet talk. The story ends, "Looks like the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Everything about the book is extremely well done, from the story line to the illustrations and presentation. The drawings are colorful and full of emotion, showing a wide range of feelings in the canine and human faces. Another great story in a great tradition.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| I am sad to see the hardcover no longer available. I just gave my copy as a present to a student. I read this book to grades K-4 as part of "social skills" teaching. This book is a fun way to explore the power of words and tone of voice. A dog that is called "bad boy, Bob" acts like a bad dog. Once he hears "good dog", "handsome dog" and other compliments, he feels much happier. It is fun to read, the illustrations are wonderful, and kids love it. |
