Doggone Dogs!

Doggone Dogs! by Karen Beaumont

As the morning sun peaks through the dark,

Doggone dogs begin to bark.

"No, dogs. Down, dogs. Sit, dogs. Hey!"

Doggone dogs do not obey!

10 unruly, adventurous dogs take their pajama clad owner on an exhausting chase through Central Bark, Dog Obedience School, being captured and then plotting their escape.  They ultimately end up back home on the couch, exhausted.  

Three dogs, two dogs, one dog. Done!

Bow-Wow-Wow. That was fun!

Doggone Dogs from one to ten...

Cannot wait to go again!

This book is adorable and hilarious.  The story is captivating and the rhymes are simple and quick.  The pictures, I think, are my favorite part of the story.  David Catrow was a perfect pair for Karen Beaumont in this hilarious dog book!
