Editorial Reviews

06/01/2016
PreS-Gr 1—Best-selling historian and artist Jack E. Levin takes a break from the adventures of American presidents to focus on a topic much closer to home, the family dog. Spot is based on his real dog, Sporty. The Levins have a deft talent for creating simple yet lively drawings with whimsical expressions. Spot is carefully crafted, and the pastel illustrations match the text well, making it easy for children to decode the actions and objects throughout the narrative. While Spot's real origins contribute depth to the creation of the book, a preface and introduction feel out of place at the beginning of this picture book. VERDICT This simple story will engage beginning readers and dog lovers alike. A fun and pleasing addition, but not a necessary purchase.—Maria Alegre, The Dalton School, New York City
