If I Ran the Dog Show All About Dogs by Tish Rabe introduces children to the wonderful world of dogs.  With the Cat in the Hat as their guide, a little boy and girl set off to the dog show.  While there, the children learn numerous facts about dogs.  

I absolutely loved this book!  The illustrations by Aristides Ruiz and Joe Mathieu pay homage to the great Dr. Seuss and are simply adorable.  If the reader looks closely, he/she will notice that the humans look like their dogs on page 4.  I also love how the book sheds light on the importance of therapy dogs and their work along with descriptions of other working dogs.

I would highly recommend this book to readers and dog lovers of all ages.  Readers will delight in the whimsical illustrations and will walk away with an increased knowledge in all things canine.  There is even a glossary in the back of the book as well as a For Further Reading section which suggests other books about dogs that readers might enjoy.  Bring home this tail-wagging good book today!
