Comforting story with great pictures
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
This story about a skinny brown dog, who gradually wears down the resistance of the baker, is comforting and amusing. The pictures are wonderful, especially of the "children", who are actually other types of animals, and are allowed into the bakery, while dogs are strictly prohibited!
Adorable!

This children's book is one of our favorites! The story is so sweet, and I also think the pictures are cute. My 4-year-old loves to look at all the pictures of the bakery food (he has a major sweet tooth). I am giving this book to many family & friends' children this Christmas.
A wonderful children's book!

I have a weakness for dogs. This book tells a sensitive, caring story about a sweet little dog and his quest to fit in. Beautiful!
But we love it!

Publisher's Weekly gave the art in this book TERRIBLE reviews, but I've got to say it: I LOVE THE PICTURES in Skinny Brown Dog. Yes, it's a little weird that Brownie is a pet when all the other animals are not. Yes, that's weird. But the animals are adorable and the story is absolutely endearing. My toddler loves, loves, loves Benny and his Skinny Brown Dog and so does her mom!
