Meddaugh, Susan.  Martha Speaks: Story Time Collection, 208 pgs.  Houghton Mifflin Harcourt Books, 2011.  $10.99.  Back cover:  “Martha is a talking dog who discovered her ability to speak after eating alphabet soup!  In this twentieth anniversary six-book collection, readers join Martha on her adventures as she exercises her unique gift of gab.  From sneaking into a “Not Dogs Allowed” Inn to uncovering the truths behind a mysterious obedience school, Martha reminds us why we love dogs and what they might teach us if only they could speak.” This book contains a special introduction and 100 stickers inside.  The stories are fun and adventurous. A lot of the stories are told in comic bubbles. We loved having six stories in one book!  It is a great bedtime book.  Pre-K.  EL (K-3).  ADVISABLE. Reviewer: SL.
