Book Review: Dogs Don’t Wear Sneakers
Want a simple silly book that young kids will love? Then head to your local book store or to the library and get a copy of Dogs Don’t Wear Sneakers written by Laura Numeroff and illustrated by Joe Mathieu.
It’s a collection of wacky combos (fish eating bagels, parrots in tutus, bulls flying airplanes) that the author and illustrator use to stretch the imagination of the reader and get everyone in the family laughing. For months after we first read this book, my daughter would call out new combos that she found hilarious. She loved it and so will your little ones.
While the writing keeps the narrative moving, it’s the illustrations that will engage your audience. Dogs running in sneakers, dancing cows, bowling moose and ducks on hikes make for wonderful illustrations that are full of life and detail. Your 2-year-old will enjoy Dogs Don’t Wear Sneakers as much as your 5-year-old.
