Surprisingly entertaining April 25, 2008
This book came to me by chance and I had no intention of reading all of it. However, reading one fairy tale led to another and then another. Each story gave me a chuckle and several a hearty laugh. The old fairy tales take on an amazingly fresh feeling with Jasheway's creativity. Her writing makes it clear that she has spent many hours with her canine companions. She writes the bedtime stories with the insight of one who loves her dogs.
I found the book very entertaining and easy to read. At less than 100 pages, you may be tempted to read it at one sitting but if you do you will lose out on days of innocent "feel-good" entertainment.
This would be a great gift for dog lovers of all ages. It is the perfect gift for anyone who needs cheering up, or for yourself - whether you have a dog or not.
Hilarious and fun!! April 14, 2004

"Bedtime Stories for Dogs" is one of the funniest and most CREATIVE books that I have EVER read. It is WONDERFUL for anyone who has a favorite dog and it makes a SUPERB gift. I have several at my house on hand as gifts and have already given many copies to my family and friends.Leigh Anne Jasheway is a creative GENIUS. I was amazed at her humor and talent as she adapted fairy tales and nursery rhymes to a more "canine perspective." These stories are not "fluff." They show a creative talent that I sincerely hope Jasheway will pursue in additional works. The book is approximately 100 pages and on quality paper. I sent one copy to my sister who is an executive in Colorado (with two degrees and a Masters). She was laughing so hard that she proceeded to call our mother long-distance and READ her one of the stories over the phone! Some of the delightful stories include: "The Three Little Pugs," "Snow White and the Seven Chihuahuas," "Goldilocks and the Three Cats," and more. These are tales that will delight not only your pets, but are sure to amuse children and friends. You will LOVE this book!

So cute. This book has the cutest stories. I even bought one for the kennel I worked at. Good bedtime stories for dogs and people.
 What a hoot, sure to keep kids' attention - and yours! January 27, 2002

If you have a dog or just love dogs, this re-telling of classic fairy tales using dogs as main characters (dachsunds, chihuahuas, etc) is hilarious and so much fun to read. Saw this one at a friend's house, read it to my kids and knew we HAD to have a permanent copy.
hilarious! Good for the whole family, even the humans! July 20, 1997

The author used just enough of the word "dog" to keep my dogs' attentions. How much more of these stories they understood is up for debate. Reading these canine versions of fairy tales and nursery rhymes was quality time spent with my dog children
