{My Thoughts} – This a a neat little poetry like book about dogs. The short little poems describe each of the dogs. It is amazing how different each dog can be in terms of the things they like, their background, their job, their personality and more. This book helps children to know that each dog is different but they are each special in their own ways.
The words within the book go hand and hand with the illustrations. The illustrations help to bring the words on the pages into a more believable perspective. I really enjoyed it because I like animals and I like poetry. I can’t wait until I let my children read it, because I am certain they will enjoy it also.

This book is SO adorable and a favourite picture book of mine! I love the illustrations and the different stories about each dog breed which describe them so perfectly! Of course, I love the pug story the best!

Once I Ate a Pie is a must read for any dog lover out there. I honestly stood in the bookstore and cried while I read it - not because any dog dies (thank goodness!) but because it so perfectly captures the spirit and personalities in dogs. The illustrations are gorgeous and the text is original and delightful. I think dog lovers of all ages will enjoy this.

Funny, and oh so adorably cute and filled with beautiful paintings of the dogs described in the story. My favorite was the pug who confessed to eating the pie (and something else too).

Such a cute book. I loved how each dog had it's own mishap. Especially the pug on the cover.

"I am not thin, but I am beautiful
When
no
one
is
looking, I steal tubs of butter off the table.
I take them to the basement to eat in private.
Once I ate a PIE."
Once I Ate a Pie (2006) is a collection of poems written by Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan with illustrations by Katy Schneider.
In this delightful collection thirteen dogs tell all about everything from being small, barking, to "borrowing" bread from the table. The poems fill the page in large, easy to read print that bends and dips in interesting directions to draw reads in.
Schneider's illustrations, especially Mr. Beefy (who once ate a pie) shown on the cover, bring these many and varied dogs to life.
Once I Ate a Pie is a great poetry collection for readers young and old. The poems are endearing and funny but also subtle for older readers. The writing is clear and easy to follow with straightforward wording. Every time I pick up this collection, I find something else to love.
