Short and sweet - I was thinking that this was going to be something else entirely - but this book is straight outta left field. That isn't to say that I didn't enjoy it - I did - it was just so unexpected. The book opens with a with an introduction and confession about how he wronged his dog Pete when he was a child and has never fully been absolved for it - then follows the poem "Dogs Think That Every Day is Christmas" that is not as child friendly as these amateurish illustrations would lead you to believe. An odd but endearing little book from the master of sci-fi. ( )

A wonderful and charming children's book by a born writer and lover of dogs, Ray Bradbury. This smile-quirking poem begins with a touching foreword by Bradbury, followed by as touching a dog poem as I have ever read. ( )
