Dream Dog by Lou Berger-ADVISABLE

Berger, Lou Dream Dog PICTURE BOOK. Random House Children’s Books, 2014. $17.99.  This book is about a boy named Harry who really wanted a dog.  He could never have a dog because his Dad had a sensitive nose.  So Harry solved this problem by creating an imaginative dog named Waffle.  One day Harry’s Dad got fired from the pepper factory that caused him to have his sensitive nose and suddenly was no longer allergic to dogs.  For Harry’s birthday his Dad surprised him with a real, live dog.  He named this dog Bumper.  Read to find out if Bumper and Waffle become friends and how Harry solves this problem. We liked the illustrations and the creative story.  The writing kept us interested and we thought the story was exciting and imaginative.  ADVISABLE. Pre-K. EL (K-3).  Student Reviewed: JL- age 11.
