Dog's Colorful Day: A Messy Story About Colors and Counting (Picture Puffins)

Kids liked it.

Great book to read to young students. Helps them with learning colors.

This book was one of our children's (& ours) favorite books! Teaches colors in a fun & colorful way, all the while, instilling a love for reading.

A very cute book for tots -- it teaches colors, counting, and has a very cute dog as a main character. My son (almost 3) loves this book, especially when dog gets a spot of chocolate on his fur. I wish they showed a picture of the book. It's a very simple story, dog starts with one black spot on his otherwise white coat, and throughout the course of his day, he gets additional spots (each a different color) from various encounters, then he goes home and gets a bath (another part that my son loves). So, you can teach your children about colors, counting (you can count the spots) and the importance of taking a bath at the end of the day. I plan to use this book with my students (who have autism) when my son outgrows the book, or I may even get another copy of it. I highly recommend this book!

I like that the book was large…easy for little ones to hold on to! The story was just right for my grandson! He’s 4. Bright illustrations and practice counting to 10 & identifying colors as well!!I’d buy it again!

This book is WONDERFUL! I've used it also in my preK music classes. I sing a 5 note scale going down (so fa mi re do) on each line of 'Now dog has _ _ spots' and have the kids sing it back to me and it works really well! Absolutely perfect! Thank you!

Cute story. Read ot for the second time to my daycare kids during a numbers and colors units. The story kept their attention and they liked being able to guess what was going to happen to him next.

I bought this book for my mother, who is a preschool teacher at one of the local day care centers. She borrowed this book from the library and renewed it the maximum number of times before I offered to buy it for her. She is going to do a whole lesson plan around Dog and his colors.The paperback version of the book is very large and easy for the kids to see at circle time. It has bright colors and clearly delineated pictures. If kids are going to be handling it themselves I'd recommend getting the hardcover version.Such a cute book! I might have to get a copy for my own collection of children's books!
