Dash thinks he’s gone from top dog to pound puppy when the Super Sweeper 5000 shows up! Sweeper is allowed to run all over the house getting away with all manner of things that Dash would surely be reprimanded for…how unfair! But Dash isn’t going down without a fight! He is going to reclaim his role as top dog in Kelly Hashway’s first picture book, May the Best Dog Win!
Dog lovers (pet lovers really) will enjoy this book. Anyone who has ever felt threatened when a new person enters the picture will be able to appreciate the way Dash feels. Also, the insight into Dash’s thoughts will give pet owners something to think about the next time their animal attacks the vacuum or bats at a cord.
General considerations:
This book reads well with a group and solo. I was afraid that it would be a little long but the parents and their children in attendance at storytime really enjoyed it. Visually, I would have liked a little more pictures and not have quite as many words on each page. For a picture book I think there was just too much text on the pages but that didn’t take away from the story.Older children gave this book the thumbs up. My tween liked the illustrations and said she liked the expressions and illustrations of Dash.
The book was fun to read aloud and I enjoyed reading it with my group.
