Reviews

PreSchool-Grade 4-Wegman fans rejoice-the wily weimaraners are suited up again. No period costumes [as in Cinderella (1993) or Little Red Riding Hood (1993)] or canine body draping this time [as in ABC (1994) or 123 (1995, all Hyperion)]; the dog heads appear above attire appropriate to all those folks in town. Chip has to write a report but all he wants to do is take photographs. A bus driver, teacher, librarian, coach, artist, police officer, mail carrier, firefighter, mechanic, and others try to help. The dog isn't inspired by any of their suggestions but he takes their pictures with his camera. Finally, inspiration dawns. The pup realizes he doesn't have to write the report-he can produce a photo-documentary. Just like his character, the author realizes he doesn't have to create great literatureto frame this work. A simple straightforward text with a blush of wit supports the illustrations without distraction. The full-color photographs are ingenious and the infinitely patient canines shine once again in this tribute to the people who make up a small town. A surefire hit for units on community helpers and Wegman devotees.
