PreS—Another celebrity author tries her hand at writing a children's book and produces a predictable, didactic, and overly cute story. Evie's pup is part Shih Tzu, part cocker spaniel, and part poodle, which makes him a SheetzuCacaPoopoo. Although the word itself may send preschoolers into giggle fits, the story starts out like many other tales of untrained pets that amuse themselves by wrecking the house. The family's solution is to send Max to Doggy Day Care while Evie is at school. On day one, he is bullied by Brutus. On day two, he organizes the small canines like himself to outsmart the bigger dogs. But on day three, Max convinces both sides to compromise and they play happily ever after. An assortment of Disney-type doggies illustrates this uninspired yarn. Kids who want a really animated story with lots of laughs should pick up Nick Bruel's Poor Puppy (Roaring Brook, 2007).—Martha Simpson, Stratford Library Association, CT

Wonderful book full of activity on all pages and kids will love it.
What can I say for Joy Behar's newest book? It is a joy to read and kids
of all ages will enjoy it. Max is quite the character and keeps everyone
on their toes (paws) with Max's antics. In the end, Max learns how to get
along with all his fellow pals in his day care environment. Ms. Behar's
experience as a teacher gets the point across to all the readers...teamwork works small miracles! Enjoy!
Interest holder for preschool and primary children
Enjoyable animal story. Behar did a great job writing this sequel to her first book.
great dog book :)
What a good message to compare a dog's life with human life :) It is a good discussion starter for school socialization classes----guidance counselors can use this for mediation purposes and to get elementary kids to think about their actions. It is a good read :)
