Review of Both Up Dog and Up Cat



Up Dog and Up Cat are two books by Hazel Hutchins I choose to do a joined review of these two books because they are pretty much the same book . (A Big thanks to Netgalley and Annick Press for the chance to read these books)

Description from Goodreads:

Uh-oh! Look out, house! This little dog is very busy cheerfully digging up and chewing up everything in sight. It’s a sad little dog who’s locked up in the pen while the house and garden are tidied up. But all is not lost, as he’s cautiously welcomed back up the steps and into the house at the end of the day.

Readers will have fun both watching the antics of this little dog and interpreting the animated facial expressions that range from determination and dejection to joy. While readers follow the dog from bad to good in rhythmic two- or three-word panels, they’ll also learn how to use “up” phrases.

Together with UP CAT, this engaging board book will expand toddlers’ vocabulary while delighting them with everyday scenes in the lives of two adorable animals.



My Review :
These books were both great fun for my 2 year old . The Illustrations were great and nice bright colors that kept our attention . The stories were simple enough that my two -year old's attention was kept on the book and with so few words it will be an easy book for her to understand . I expect she will soon be repeating the words. We both enjoyed reading the books and following the adventures of both the cat and the dog . We look forward to reading more books by Hazel Hutchins. I highly recommend these books for toddlers with short attention spans .

My reviews are posted on Amazon for both Cat and Dog , Goodreads for both Up Dog and Up Cat, FB, Netgalley and the blog.
