Overview / 简介: |
In this exuberant new picture book, Lois Ehlert takes us on a trip to the farmers market with a group of friendly, furry, and (mostly) well-behaved pups. And when the shopping's done, the gang heads to the dog park for some serious playing.
Readers will be wowed by the gorgeous collage illustrations, subtle counting elements, jaunty text, and--best of all--dogs galore!
Includes a spread that features pictures, names, and traits of all the dogs, so children can go back and follow their favorites throughout the story.

From Organization / 国外机构评价: |
| PreSchool-Grade 2—An assortment of hip city dogs and their owners take a walk to the Farmer's Market. These proud Bow Wow School graduates celebrate their good behavior as they struggle to behave before heading off for a romp in the park. Told through the canines' thought bubbles, this simple story has a rhythmic, jazzy quality that begs to be read aloud. "Wag a tail./Wag a tail./We know how./Wig Wag Zig Zag/Bow Wow Wow." Collages composed of brightly colored buttons and scraps of fabric and handmade paper stand out on vivid green backgrounds. The final endpaper shows portraits of the pups introduced with their name and characteristics ("Keep an eye on Spike, he needs more obedience training"). With polish and pizzazz, this well-designed package pays tribute to dogs and life in the city. An author's note provides special behind-the-scenes details about the illustrations.—Julie Roach, Cambridge Public Library, MA

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| It's not often I review a book for the world's littlest listeners, but Ehlert's "Wag a Tail" took hold of my imagination and wouldn't let go.
As fitting for a 1-to 3-year-old audience, "Wag a Tail" doesn't suffer from too much plot. In fact, nothing much actually happens. Dogs go to the market. They proclaim "We are cool." They break some rules. They "never drool." At the end of the "story," they frolic in a dog park, outdoing one another with silly dog tricks.
So what's so special about "Wag a Tail," then? The illustrations. They are vibrant, stunning, and child-friendly. Ehlert uses fuzzy felt-like collage to create her dogs and their passive, non-speaking people. She chose deep, jewel-like colors on a background of green; color choices unique in the preschool market. When I read this aloud to a six-year-old, he kept touching the pages, saying "this book looks like it should be lumpy." It sure does.
Ehlert's dogs, though created from pieces of felt and bits of button, are lifelike and recognizable. (All sixteen dogs are afforded a short bio on the inside back cover. My favorite is Lucky, the Scottish Terrier.) The dogs are mischievous , brazen, and ready for fun. Any toddler would approve.
"Wag a Tail" is the type of book you'll catch your toddler browsing through (maybe upside down?) on her own in a corner. Don't miss it. "Bow wow wow."
