First sentence: One dog stands alone. Two dogs on a trike. Three dogs on a scooter. Four dogs on a bike. Five dogs on a trolley. Six dogs on a train.

Premise/plot: Two dogs on a Trike is a concept board book. It is a counting book. Little ones count to ten and back in this humorous story starring dogs...

My thoughts: In all honesty, I'm not always the most observant reader. Sometimes I rush through a story and really only pay attention to the text. So this board book through a little twist in for this slightly-lazy reader. The illustrations are definitely communicating a fuller story. Without "reading" the illustrations plus the text, you might miss out on the humor in this one. You might assume [incorrectly] that it's just your ordinary, slightly dull counting book....albeit one who stars dogs.

So my advice, pay attention to who is watching the dogs... ( )

Plenty of action in this story, which will have mass appeal for pet lovers. Counting, transportation and adorable pets all rolled into one big adventure for little ones. ( )
