The book is a simple winner for infants and toddlers, and fans will want to look at other books in the series. The progression from innocent walk to unexpected skunk encounter, to the party people knocking over the food strewn table when they smell the smelly dogs, is smooth, logical, and funny. It's funny to conclude a story with dogs stinking up the joint. One can depict smelly smells by drawing green smudges on your characters, and wavy green lines emanating from them.ĥ. Little dogs, just like big dogs, can have bad days.ĥ. Big dogs, just like little dogs, can make mistakes.Ĥ. Dogs (and people) can play and explore together, noticing and talking about the same things, rather than just engage in parallel play.ģ. Big and little dogs can get along, despite their outer differences.Ģ. He doesn't preach, but the story and bright, uncluttered pictures tell us some fairly important things, always in an entertaining style manner.ġ. HOwever, in this 10-page board book, Pilkey conveys some valuable "inner" messages as well. Hopefully, when you return you won t interrupt some hoity-toity social affair, like the tea and cake party that the two dogs spoil!
"Big Dog and Little Dog Making a Mistake" has an easily understood outer message-some striped animals are skunks, NOT cats, and if you make this mistake, you might come home just as smelly as Big Dog and Little Dog do. They have enough toilet concerns without worrying about them exploding. These intentionally juvenile forays into elementary school comedy (underwear, toilets, etc.) are more clever than they sound, but they're perhaps inapproproate for young toddlers. Slightly older readers know Pilkey as the very, very funny, but scatologically inclined author of the "Captain Underpants" series. I'm glad I've resumed looking board books lately, otherwise I would not have known that Dav PIlkey has a whole series of "Big Dog and Little Dog" books.
