Kit & Willy’s Ultimate Guidebooks to Everything!: Dogs of the World

Kids with a goofy sense of humor will get chuckle after chuckle with each turn of the page in this book on dog breeds.  At first this book looks like a nonfiction title but put your tongue in your cheek and read on…Starting on the cover there are clues…two ring marks that looks as if someone set a coffee mug down on the front of the book and ruined the cover.  Also note that the book is Not by Zebedee Helm.  Kit (a cowboy from Montana) and his dog Willy love discovering interesting things.  They happen upon a dog show and begin describing dogs: “Labdradors come in the colours: black, yellow and chocolate.  Obviously the chocolate ones are the rarest as a lot get eaten and those that don’t quite often, melt in the sun.”  Fact hounds will be totally frustrated that they will learn nothing about dog breeds in this book.  Goofy kids will love it.  Oh…”Try not to get too fond of your balloon dog as they only last about a week, even less if you have a cactus in your house.”  Childlike artwork and handwriting, complete with cross outs, add to the ambiance of youthful silliness.  Surprisingly published in Great Britain…a long way from Montana! (On the back cover, an arrow points to the “bark code”.)
