Reviews

"Yelchin’s amusing gouache illustrations provide plenty of personality and clever humor for the pooches."

–Kirkus Reviews

"In Joosse's enthusiastic collection of light verse, various dogs introduce themselves as they don costumes for a parade, but it's Yelchin's humorous gouache illustrations that provide much of the book's appeal. The eventual parade, like an artist's portfolio, features a plethora of dogs marching in costume. Plot is beside the point: like an actual parade, the exuberant atmosphere--confetti, balloons, costumes, and all--is the main draw."

–Publishers Weekly

"The illustrations are a dynamic combination of realistic, expressive, and cute, and the text design is playful and colorful."

–Powell's Books
