This book was not as entertaining as I had hoped. The premise was there, 50 letters with pictures written by dogs to their pack leaders helping them out and encouraging them to find the well-meaning intentions in their misdeeds.
The pictures are cute, but the writing is forced, as if Jeremy Greenberg, a columnist and comedian, is trying too hard for a joke.
When I first came across this book, I was remembering the Bad Dog series and had high hopes that this would be in that same fashion. Unfortunately, it is not.
I am not sure what audience this would work for, the title is wrong for children and the humor is just not there for adults. With only 65 pages, I would recommend giving it a once over at the bookstore, but there really isn’t any need to put out $10 for this one time silly venture.

Stellar review, N!
Oh, well. A swing and a miss is what it sounds like. Good review!
