La opinión de los lectores y expertos sobre Dogs:

«Emily Gravett, a prizewinning illustrator, places her expressive canines in clear, white space on the page. These bold pictures, each tell their own story; but there’s a surprise at the end, when the reader finds out exactly who the narrator is.». From theguardian.com

«I love Gravett’s art, so would have enjoyed this book regardless. Actually, we all loved it, and everyone had to pick out their favorite dog. The picture of the Old English Sheepdog explosively shedding is worth the price of admission.». From goodreads.com

«Emily Gravett’s stunning and funny illustrations work to make this a fun read for younger children.
The book contains lots of descriptive words, with many antonyms. This makes it a useful text to have in my repertoire when I come to teach these types of words. I feel like it would also be a nice inspiration for young children to use before creating their own story, maybe focusing on other animals.». From goodreads.com
