Dog's Colorful Day: A Messy Story About Colors and Counting (Picture Puffins)

My toddler loves this book! She loves each spot and naming each color, make it super engaging. Perfect for ages 2-5—educational, hilarious, and ends with a satisfying bath. Highly recommend!

A very cute book for tots -- it teaches colors, counting, and has a very cute dog as a main character. My son (almost 3) loves this book, especially when dog gets a spot of chocolate on his fur. I wish they showed a picture of the book. It's a very simple story, dog starts with one black spot on his otherwise white coat, and throughout the course of his day, he gets additional spots (each a different color) from various encounters, then he goes home and gets a bath (another part that my son loves). So, you can teach your children about colors, counting (you can count the spots) and the importance of taking a bath at the end of the day. I plan to use this book with my students (who have autism) when my son outgrows the book, or I may even get another copy of it. I highly recommend this book!

This book was one of our children's (& ours) favorite books! Teaches colors in a fun & colorful way, all the while, instilling a love for reading.

Read aloud for my preschool class and they adore it. I hand out different colored pompoms and let them place on a black & white drawing of the likeness of the dog in the story....then they use a similar color page. Fun story time to engage young minds.

I bought this book for my mother, who is a preschool teacher at one of the local day care centers. She borrowed this book from the library and renewed it the maximum number of times before I offered to buy it for her. She is going to do a whole lesson plan around Dog and his colors. The paperback version of the book is very large and easy for the kids to see at circle time. It has bright colors and clearly delineated pictures. If kids are going to be handling it themselves I'd recommend getting the hardcover version. Such a cute book! I might have to get a copy for my own collection of children's books!

It became one of my daughter’s favorite books. Reading through and seeing dogs adventure has been a nightly routine for a while now!

Cute story. Read ot for the second time to my daycare kids during a numbers and colors units. The story kept their attention and they liked being able to guess what was going to happen to him next.

Kids love this book! I gave the kids a copy of the dog and they added the colored dots I gave them and added them to the dog aa they followed along with the story. Good for counting, learning colors and cognitive thinking.

Storia molto carina i miei bambini adorano questo libro

Great for my ESL class. Short, easy to follow, with a focus on colirs and numbers.

I like the illustrations. The tale is a nice way to introduce numbers from one to ten and colours.

My preschool group loved this story, clear illustrations and a fun story. I was easily able to make a felt story to go with this book.

I laughed at this story when I gave it a quick read through on my own before giving it to my grandchildren. I am sure that they and their parents will enjoy the number of funny things that can get dropped or rubbed onto a dog during a day. Perfect for learning colours and numbers or early counting. Though it is just a very fun book for young children.
