Dog's Colorful Day: A Messy Story About Colors and Counting (Picture Puffin Books)

I like that the book was large…easy for little ones to hold on to! The story was just right for my grandson! He’s 4. Bright illustrations and practice counting to 10 & identifying colors as well!!I’d buy it again!

A very cute book for tots -- it teaches colors, counting, and has a very cute dog as a main character. My son (almost 3) loves this book, especially when dog gets a spot of chocolate on his fur. I wish they showed a picture of the book. It's a very simple story, dog starts with one black spot on his otherwise white coat, and throughout the course of his day, he gets additional spots (each a different color) from various encounters, then he goes home and gets a bath (another part that my son loves). So, you can teach your children about colors, counting (you can count the spots) and the importance of taking a bath at the end of the day. I plan to use this book with my students (who have autism) when my son outgrows the book, or I may even get another copy of it. I highly recommend this book!

Kids love this book! I gave the kids a copy of the dog and they added the colored dots I gave them and added them to the dog aa they followed along with the story. Good for counting, learning colors and cognitive thinking.

I have bought a lot of books for my grandkids. This is one of the best! The colors are very bright, on glossy paper. The illustrations are simple, but very colorful. I was reading it to my four-year-old granddaughter, and my four-month-old granddaughter was leaning over my shoulder straining to see the pages too. It has so many ways to read it -- straight as a story, or naming all the colors each time Dog gets a new spot, or counting the spots each time Dog gets a new spot. Big win for this book!

My 2 year old class enjoyed the story and it emphasized colors for them!

I plan on using this book for speech therapy in preschool. Great for targeting receptive and expressive language goals. The illustrations are great.

Cute story. Read ot for the second time to my daycare kids during a numbers and colors units. The story kept their attention and they liked being able to guess what was going to happen to him next.

I bought this book for my mother, who is a preschool teacher at one of the local day care centers. She borrowed this book from the library and renewed it the maximum number of times before I offered to buy it for her. She is going to do a whole lesson plan around Dog and his colors.The paperback version of the book is very large and easy for the kids to see at circle time. It has bright colors and clearly delineated pictures. If kids are going to be handling it themselves I'd recommend getting the hardcover version.Such a cute book! I might have to get a copy for my own collection of children's books!

My preschool group loved this story, clear illustrations and a fun story. I was easily able to make a felt story to go with this book.

I like the illustrations. The tale is a nice way to introduce numbers from one to ten and colours.

Sehr gut geeignet für den Englischunterricht in der Grundschule

I laughed at this story when I gave it a quick read through on my own before giving it to my grandchildren. I am sure that they and their parents will enjoy the number of funny things that can get dropped or rubbed onto a dog during a day. Perfect for learning colours and numbers or early counting. Though it is just a very fun book for young children.
