Mr. Beefy, I Ate A Pie Too! February 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book makes me feel like a kid at heart. It's great fun to read it giving each animal it's own voice since you can really sense the different personalities from each drawing and story. I also think it's a good lesson for children because, let's face it, some of these dogs are totally neurotic! I think it's a good way to show kids that everyone, including animals, have their own little personalities and behaviors and some of them are a little odd!
Excellent read for any dog lover of any age January 26, 2008

Huge animals lovers we are....my 7 y/o brought this book home from his school library class and I must say, we both had a hard time parting with it, so I went out and bought a copy for us to keep.
Love the illustration, so true and cute the story of each dog is! Loved the story of the Mr. Beefy the Pug, who steals tubs of butter and also is guilty of once eating a pie, Lucy the pillow/bed hog, Sugar who wants to rest but still thinks about chasing the cat, Needle Nose who is proud of using his nose to get into everything from the refrigerator to ripping up mail, Abby the Boston Terrier who doesn't steal but borrows things from other dogs bones to her owners slippers, Tillie and Maude the Westie duo...Tillie goes to the bathroom in private but Maude doesn't care, she'll go anywhere when she feels the need. And Puppies story at the beginning and the ending with Luke the St. Bernard just melts my heart.
This is just one of those books you'll keep forever and not give up at a yard sale.
Wonderful poems & pictures December 27, 2007

This book is wonderful. My girls, ages 3 & 7, first borrowed this book from the library. The illustrations were very charming. The words were simple enough for my 2nd grader, but entertaining enough to keep my attention. Each poem is written from the view point of a different dog, which made reading aloud a joy. We created different voices and characters for each poem. The girls hated returning this book to the library and asked if we could get our own copy. Any book which gets my 7 year old to request it and want to read is 5 stars by me.
A Pug Named Mr. Beefy! August 27, 2007
This is a darling book! I can't resist a children's book with a pug and this one perfectly portrays a pug's personality.
Hilarious! July 4, 2007

My daughter loves dogs and the pictures are realistic paintings that are beautiful. Another plus about this book is that it is amusing enough for me that I can read it over and over again when my daughter insists. It is hilarious to adults who love dog breeds because the poems are spot-on with breed characteristics.
