Do you love good books for children?
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.
Books for Keeps, Books for Giving Christmas –
Books are among the best gifts for the youngest offering the opportunity for sharing and play … A Day with Dogs by Dorothee de Monfreid has no text to contend with but so much to explore and talk about.

“A Day with Dogs” is fantastic from cover-to-cover and I KNOW your child will feel the same way. It’s a perfect book to share together or for your child to read solo.
BookTrailers4KidsandYA –
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.
Bookrapt (NZ) –
The illustrations are bright and often comical, creating numerous opportunities for children to learn whilst having fun with the dogs and their antics.
Bob’s Book Blog –
The illustrations are big and bold in bright colours with the detail enough to have a child looking for ages.
