Ten unruly dogs get loose, and when they are captured by the dog catcher, they escape and return home.

This is a delightful read-a-loud with colorful animated illustrations. Misbehaving dogs are relatable with most children, whether it be dogs that they have or their own misbehavior. The book incorporates a rhyming scheme, with counting, as well as the civic understanding of being responsible for your pets.
The illustrations are pencil and water color. ( )

Book can be used to introduce the short /o/ sound as well as numbering 1-10

David Catrow's unmistakeable pear-shaped figures romp through this exuberant counting and rhyming picture book without a pause. From early morning to evening, a raucous crew of plump doggies cause havoc, from the house to the park and back again. While the conscientious dog owner will want to point out that an obedient and well-trained dog is happier, healthier, and safer, these doggies are so full of joie de vive, that we simply can't grudge them a day of freedom.

Verdict: Highly recommended for fun reading at all times!
