Synopsis

Read along with this playful pup as he chews, digs, and slobbers his way into trouble

Sniff shoes. Lick shoes.

Gnaw shoes. More shoes!

Uh oh...your shoes?

Bad dog, Flash!

When it comes to mischief, there are some things Flash just can't resist. From shoes to sticks and mud to licks, Flash gets into all kinds of trouble that elicits some (tough) love from his owners. But as all dog lovers know, you can only scold your puppy for so long...and then it's back to giving them lots of love and affection!

Reviews

PreS-Gr 1—Every time Flash the puppy tries to spice up his life (chasing the cat, chewing shoes, tearing the laundry from the line), he is sternly admonished by his mostly off-page humans. After this almost irrepressible pup sadly settles down, his enthusiasm is rekindled when he is cuddled by the little girl who owns him. The text is mostly composed of short rhythmic word pairs ("Still cat,/dull cat./Fast cat,/fun cat./Run, cat!") followed by the inevitable refrain, "Bad dog, Flash." The pencil and watercolor illustrations have plenty of white space to frame the action and highlight the scruffiness of the dog. Emerging readers can easily read the text on their own, and children will love chanting the refrain when the book is shared in a group storytime or one-on-one. Flash will appeal not just to canine lovers but also to all children who love an underdog.—Marge Loch-Wouters, La Crosse Public Library, WI
