School Library Journal (US) –
This goofy vocabulary book has a variety of thematic word lists that should appeal to a wide range of readers—especially those who love dogs. A good choice for large collections.
Publishers Weekly (US) –
It’s a personable introduction to useful concepts, and attentive readers will enjoy getting to know the specific dogs in the bustling scenes.
Outside In World (UK) –
A Day with Dogs has similarities to the popular American children’s author, Richard Scarry’s illustrative style. The meticulous attention to detail is wonderful. A ‘dolls house’ view of how the dogs live buzzes with activity and humour. As well as the delightful artwork of descriptive illustrations and vignettes, the text includes amusing conversations between the dogs. Young readers are going to relish this book especially if they are a dog-lover because there is just so much to look at.

It is bright and bold but without being too busy. It is informative without unnecessary explanations. Children can paw (pun intended) over this book for hours enjoying the funny pictures and absorbing language and new words as they go.
