Summary: Jez does it gain
Review: I bought this book for my 3 year old, as he loves the "duck" books by Jez. He loves this book as well, and it is my personal favorite. I love the message in the book, and the rhymes are easy to read and follow. Of Jez's books, this is the best. This is a book that parents will enjoy reading and children love to hear.

Summary: Jez has done it again!
Review: I'm a big fan of the "Bear" books by this same author, so I took a gander at this yesterday and ended up buying it. (Right after I dried my tears) This sweet story has the same great pictures and feel of Where's my teddy. Set in a world of dogs, it tells the story of a young pup's ups and downs with lovely family interaction.

Summary: Love this book- wonderful story and illustrations
Review: My 11 month old loves looking at the illustrations in this book and it has a very nice rhyming story. I would highly recommend it because it has a valuable lesson. It teaches children to not be held back by limitations that are imposed on them by others.

---UPDATE: My child is now 16 months old now and this is his favorite book. He actually sits through it and listens to every word without moving an inch (an impressicve feat for my active toddler). I also like the text- when i read other books i normally improvise but this book needs no improvision! it is perfect!!

SUMMARY of STORY (warning spoiler): The dog, Sid, finds out he is able to fly on his way to school but at school when he tells his classmates they say that "dogs don't fly". He tries to show him but he cannot fly again since he is no longer happy. When he gets home he is very depressed and tells his dad that "dogs don't fly" but then his dad begins to fly. Sid becomes happy again and flys next to his dad.

Summary: Great Story and Illustrations
Review: My 16 month old LOVES this book and I don't mind a bit reading it several times per day. The text is simple and originally rhyming, the illustrations are very cute. Sid is the star of this heartwarming tale that fills the imagination of both adult and child. I look hard for children's books that I enjoy reading and my son enjoys hearing and looking at the illustrations and this one fit's the bill perfectly.

Summary: A Big Hit with Twin Toddlers!
Review: We found this book at the library, and were taking it out so often we ended up buy it ourselves (which we NEVER do). Our twins fell in love with Sid when they were about 18 months old. The illustrations are wonderful, the rhyming is adorable, and the story is so positive. We've talked about emotions, friends, family, and a bunch of other topics based on the reading. A GREAT read aloud for little ones, and a good early reader for older kids.

Summary: Dreams and Miracles
Review: With a simple story this book gives a poigent lesson on miracles, hopes and dreams. An uplifting tale about a young dog who comes to realize that miracles do happen and not to let other people (in this case dogs) drag you down with their own disbelief. A book that rhymes with large colourful illustrations will interest even toddlers.
