I wanted to like this more than I did. It just didn't catch me and I found Murphy and his narration more annoying than cute. I'm sure others feel quite differently.

Captures a dog's thought process really well (or so I assume). Good resource for teaching students about voice.

This story that gives a day in the life of a barn terrier is illustrated in oils. It is not really conducive to a read aloud, not is it really anything special artistically. It is a fun and energetic tale (haha, get it?) but the ALL CAPS FOR THE ENTIRE STORY IS SUPER OBNOXIOUS AND IT FEELS LIKE YELLING.

Meh.
