Interactive and funny, I recommend This Book Just Ate My Dog! for preschool and up. Though, things aren’t sorted out perfectly in the end… Her friend Ben walks by and is eaten too, then an ambulance, and finally Bella! It’s up to the reader to sort it all out and save the day. She was innocently walking her dog across the page when the book ate her dog (it disappears into the crease). When has your child been asked to shake a book sideways by a character? Both my nieces enjoyed it, the younger one especially. Brightly illustrated with adorable-looking characters, it’s a quick read and very, very silly. He got all meta on himself with this picture book. That’s exactly what happens in This Book Just Ate My Dog! by Richard Byrne. But what about a book where the book itself is a character? And the reader has to help out to move the story along? Yeah, that blew the mind of my five-year-old niece, too. Cleverly using the physicality of the book, This book just ate my dog is inventive, ingenious, and just pure kid-friendly funĬontributor Bio(s): Byrne, Richard: - Richard Byrne is the author and illustrator of This book just ate my dog!, We're in the wrong book!, and This book is out of control!
