Almost nothing but dogs, colors, and going fast, and the very first book a dog-mad toddler will 'read' back to you.
Dogs, dogs, everywhere. Big dogs and little dogs, a red dog and a blue dog, dogs going up and dogs going down, dogs driving cars and pedaling bikes, every one of them in a hurry to get somewhere. Where are they all rushing off to? A big dog party up in a tree, and getting there is the whole happy point.
It's built from about seventy-five of the simplest words there are, repeated in ways a brand-new reader can actually get their mouth around, so a dog-obsessed two- or three-year-old feels like they're reading real words on their own. Every page is dogs, which is the only thing they want anyway. And Dr. Seuss himself had a hand in shaping it, so the rhythm rolls right off the tongue, even on the fiftieth night in a row.
