From School Library Journal:

PreSchool-K–This simple, yet entertaining title makes use of a wide array of breeds to demonstrate the concept of opposites. The story begins with a girl waking up in her bedroom, which is decorated with canine posters, stuffed animals, floppy slippers, night-light, even a doggy alarm clock. As she looks out her window, an excited pack of dogs runs by. Big dog. Little dog....Where are they going? Glick must have had a grand time drawing urban street scenes filled with mutts as readers follow the child and her father to the bus stop. Wide dogs and narrow dogs, fast and slow dogs, clean and dirty dogs, smooth and curly dogs romp through the town. They visit the library, run around the town-square fountain, enjoy the playground slides, and even make time for a spot of grooming. Every few pages, the author asks, Where are they going? Finally, in one joyful leap, they all plunge wildly into a body of water, along with the youngster. What the book lacks in plot development it makes up for in the sheer exuberance of the watercolor cartoons. A must for dog lovers and a good choice for beginning readers in either language.
