This was on my son's Kindergarten summer reading list, though I cannot figure out why. The story is ridiculous and unless you are really interested in a wide variety of dog breeds there is just nothing intriguing about it at all. I did not care for the mixed fiction/non-fiction voice. I thought it was confusing and made the book a difficult read-aloud. Though the final punch line is great this is a very long setup that will go over a Kindergartner's head. I was hoping for an adventure about the actual First Dog.

On the illustrations alone it would have been 5 stars... Loved all the dog info, but the storyline was a little too much for me.
