Editorial Reviews

Children's Literature
Emma's dog, Toby, is always in trouble—in fact, he seems to have a different misbehavior for each day of the week. Emma and her parents realize that something has to be done. At first, Emma tries to give her pet extra special attention—that works for a few days but by the weekend, Toby is back to his old ways. So the family tries out an obedience school. The day camp version doesn't work but after a week with the formidable Ms. Klatz, Toby is under control from Monday through Saturday; the story ends with a little mischief in the park on Sunday, since, after all, "no dog can be perfect always." Jones's engaging illustrations will have strong appeal for those who like the style popularized by the Simpsons' creator. It is refreshing to have this cheerful book feature a solidly middle class family of color. Reviewer: Mary Hynes-Berry
School Library Journal

K-Gr 2

Emma's dog is lovable, but his misbehavior is a serious problem. Using a predictable pattern to tell the story, Demas relates Toby's antics each day of the week and his experiences at dog-training school. Then, in a leap from reality to fantasy, Toby demonstrates that he is a good dog by baking bread, vacuuming the rug, and folding the laundry, among other household jobs. The ending, however, shows that the pup has not given up all of his old ways. The story is great for reading aloud, but the many humorous details in the cartoon-style illustrations make it fun for individual reading as well. Text, illustration, and design all work together to create a delightful story.-Marilyn Ackerman, Brooklyn Public Library, NY

Kirkus Reviews
Toby is a tan-and-brown pooch of indeterminate breed but distinctly and determinedly naughty behavior. Each day of the week he gets into a different sort of mischief, from eating homemade bread to chewing buttons off a new coat. He is taken to obedience school, where he learns basic commands, but he reverts to mischief-mode as soon as he gets home. After an additional session of residential obedience school, Toby returns home a changed dog: He vacuums, folds laundry and bakes bread all by himself. But no dog is perfect, as illustrated by the final, surprising spread, which shows Toby's exasperated owners at the park, with the dog leash stretching right across the spread. A zigzag cutout in the last page offers a glimpse of Toby, who has escaped right out of the story and onto the endpapers, in a hilarious finale. The short text, repetitive story structure and Jones's simple but amusing cartoon-style illustrations add up to a solid offering in the naughty-dog division, but the boundary-breaking ending is the tail that wags the dog for this canine caper. (Picture book. 3-7)

    Fabulous and funny -- this children's picture book is the perfect gift

    As the owner of an elderly dog, I laughed my way through this delightful story. Thoroughly charming, and highly recommended. If you don't have a child or a dog-lover to give this to, then simply get it for yourself!

    Naughty Child?

    My son is always getting into trouble.. like the dog in this book. I bought this book to try and show my son that he is not the only one who gets into trouble but he can also change like the dog (and still be himself at times too). The book is pretty good.. of course it a bit silly but I like that when dealing with kids books. The book provides some good discussion topics as well.
