I didn't like this book. Sam is mean to the dog. "Dumb doggie." Matt actually rolled his eyes and asked if we could throw it away.

This book is about Sam and his dog who wants to eat Sam's cookie. I like that this book is good for starting readers and I also like that Sam gets so mad when things go wrong. But I think he shouldn't get so mad that he pulled the dogs ear which hurt the dog. Then the dog got so mad that he wanted to hurt Sam. I didn't like that Sam did not share. - G, 6yo

Sam has a cookie. He lets his dog take the cookie. His mom comes and yells at the dog and gives Sam another cookie.
I picked this up because I liked the illustration, but my humble opinion is that Sam is spoiled and if he doesn't want the dog taking his cookies, he shouldn't be eating them at dog level. :)

my little 14month old daughter just loves this book.
I add some more to it as I read it. don't like how simple it is written as I think it prevcent children from speaking properly.
But she just loves the pictures and at the moment we read it 10 times a day.

I laughed a deep belly laugh on the "dumb doggie!" page. The true essence of toddlerhood, with simple yet expressive drawings.
