40 pgs.
Goodreads rating:  3.79
My rating:  4

My comments:  39 rhymes about 38 different kinds of dogs fill this book.  They're short poems.  Very short.  Two lines, , three lines, or four lines.  They all rhyme.  Most are really cute.  A few are a bit forced to make them rhyme.  But they're fun! (See a few below.)  I like the illustrations a lot.

Goodreads:  Go on a walk to the park with all different kinds of dogs and their owners in this funny and charming poetry picture book.
Enjoy Avery Corman's canine poetry for an Afghan hound, basset hound, beagle, bloodhound, Daschshund, boxer, greyhound, and more as they stroll with their owners to the park.

Pug
Is the Pug cute?
Or is the Pug ugh?
Mostly, people love
The little Pug's mug


Hyewon Yum captures the unique characteristics of the owner and his pet as she beautifully illustrates the humorous walk from each dog's home to the park and back.

Basset Hound
For things she can smell,
She's a comer and goer.
She's much like a Begle,
But longer and lower.

Chihuahua
Super frisky, never whiny,
Even though he's teeny tiny.

Dachshund
She's a happy, little squat dog
Who looks like she's a hot dog.

German Shepherd
He's a police dog for some
Because he's so clever,
And a most loyal chum
Forever and ever.

Poodle
The Poodle is quick to learn a trick.
You might say a Poodle can use her noodle.

Greyhound
She's not an easy dog to chase
Because she'll beat you in a race.
