The latest in my Let’s Talk about Books, Baby review series:

“Thanks to an unprecedented–and unaccredited–writing program, dogs everywhere are exposing their true inner lives through the power of poetry.” So opens, I Could Chew on This: And Other Poems by Dogs, by Francesco Marciuliano, a delightful literary indulgence for dog lovers.

It’s a terrific gimmick. An impulse buy for yourself or a gift for that special someone you don’t know what to get for but you know they like dogs so this will do. Good choice.

Seriously, I enjoyed this book more than I probably should have. With a collection of poems told from the dogs’ perspective and matching photos of adorable canines, how could you not love this book?

Oh, you’re a cat person.
In which case, there are books in the series for you, too.
