Review Summary: Wonderful introduction to Haiku for young readers!
Review: I actually got this book for my 3.5 year-old daughter and though she is a bit young to grasp the concept of Haiku, the story itself is poignant and captivating. It centers around a stray dog that finds a home with a nice family, and this is told in a series of Haikus. The illustrations are nice yet what I loved most about the book was the haikus themselves. Such a simple form that managed to convey the message of adoption. I'm looking forward to other works by Andrew Clements.

Review Summary: Dogku
Review: A wonderful book! Kids will delight in the poetic story, and the illustrations capture the mood and flavor of this loveable dog. What a great tool to use with any age to take a favorite subject and make it a haiku. As with all other Andrew Clements books, he thinks like a kid and writes so they are engaged. Adults who love children's literature will have to surmise he never "grew up" and lost the ability of being a kid.

Review Summary: Dogku - fun story for all
Review: Clever, funny and well-written story of a homeless dog that finds a home with a nice family, written in haiku. My 8 1/2 year old neighbors loved the story. They had just learned about haiku in school and enjoyed reading the story and counting out the number of syllables. The illustrations are first rate, too. Highly recommended.
