Hip-Hop for Dogs: From Bling to Phat, Your Dog Is One Cool Cat

I never knew that canines had their own languages until I picked up "Yiddish for Dogs" on a lark. Notwithstanding the title, that book turned out to be the perfect stocking stuffer. I still keep copies of YfD for dog-loving friends who stop by my crib for a visit. "Hip Hop for Dogs" is a bit more edgy than the sweeter YfD. In fact, you could probably say that it has a lot of chutzpah! That being said, I have a lot of fly friends, so I will definitely be spending some chedda on a few copies of this phat book so I can give them out to my homies in the Hood. P.S. The dogs in this book are adorable!

Another hysterically funny lexicon by author and illustrator Janet Perr. They say that if you want to incorporate a new word into your everyday vocabulary, you need to use it several times within the first week of learning it. Here goes: This book is DA BOMB. Perr's previous book, "Yiddish for Dogs", might be more my FLAVA, but I'm trying to be a FLY DAWG so I can fit in my HOOD. How's that for a PHAT DAWG?

This is such a great learning tool for young and old, African-American or White, gay or straight, biyatch or baby daddy. Loved it! Woof! xoxo J.

I am generally not around hip hop language, and only notice people using the terms infrequently. This little book has had me roaring in my seat while becoming acquainted with the words. I have to show my favorites to anyone who comes by. I think my favorite is "Homies" - 3 pugs in red hoodies- outrageous. Outstanding!

From the author's mother: Hi Janet, I LOVE your book. And I am delighted to be learning a new language. I am pleased to say that I may be fat, but I am also PHAT. Your book is displayed on my table and it is a great decoration for my CRIB. Thanks so much for my copy. SUP??? Love, Mom
