From Booklist:

PreS-K. The sounds of the simple rhyming words are fun and so is the action in this Step 1 reader in the Step into Reading series. Hog shines at soccer ("Ball Hog"); Dog is the star at basketball ("Tall Dog"). The action-packed pictures show them cheering for each other, even though they don't always get on. When they play hide-and-seek, "Hog sees Dog peek! / Dog is sad. / Now Hog feels bad." But they make up, and play ping-pong together. It's the elemental drama of friends who quarrel, with words in big type and brightly colored art telling the story in a way that will appeal to new readers. Hazel Rochman
