简介：
PreS-K. Grooming a favorite topic in a fresh way, theauthor-illustrator of Ten Puppies (2004), and others, introduces acrew of dissatisfied dogs: "One day, just keeping busy was notenough. The puppies wanted more." Selected one-by-one by a humantrainer, each of the 10 bright-eyed furballs lands an exciting job,one that (as an endnote explains) can actually be performed by adog--from "apprentice sled puppy" to "guide puppy" to "expert pet."The countdown premise is clearly presented, but what will stickwith most children is the artwork, in which Reiser achievesdistinctive textures through a process involving "Sharpie markers,Wite-Out, watercolor paint, scissors, tape, and a copy machine."Even if kids aren't ready for the arithmetic concepts, they'll cooover the wriggling pups and connect with the underlying messagesabout performing a task well; giving and receiving plenty ofaffirmation ("Good puppies!"); and balancing work and play. Trythis on toddlers who adore Susan Meyers' Puppies! Puppies! Puppies!(2004) or Sandra Boynton's Doggies (1984). Jennifer Mattson(Booklist - Jennifer Mattson )
PreSchool-Grade 2-In this countdown companion to Ten Puppies(HarperCollins, 2003), 10 canines become bored and seek adventurethrough employment. One by one, each is paired with a human andgiven a professional responsibility-the first becomes a beginnerfirefighter puppy and the last, an expert pet. In between, readersencounter a therapy puppy and a groundskeeper. On the left-handpage of each spread, those who remain are seen sitting, sleeping,or scratching, with the hint of a new employer (human feet areshown) bringing hope to them. The appropriate numeral appears in anupper corner. On the right, the newly adopted pup is shown in aframed scene, happily obeying a command. The number is spelled outhere. On the final spread, the 10 puppies reunite for playtime. PawNotes in the back matter offer additional information on the jobs;a subtraction table is also included. Reiser's crisp, uncluttered,artful illustrations are the result of Sharpie markers, Wite-Out,watercolors, scissors, and other materials. A worthwhile purchasefor storytime and as an introduction to subtraction.-Linda ZeilstraSawyer, Skokie Public Library, IL (School Library Journal )
