K-Gr 1-A small boy wearing baggy shorts, a sideways baseball cap, and round glasses describes his dog, Tiny: "He is bigger than a bike. He is bigger than a chair. He is bigger than I am!" Since Tiny likes dirt, he needs a bath, but the pail is too small and so is the bathtub. The pool is the perfect solution. After Tiny is clean, he decides that playing in the mud is more fun, and both the dog and the boy end up back in the pool. This very beginning-level reader is predictable from start to finish. It is the full-color illustrations, which fill the double-page spreads, that give the story its charm. While this book is not memorable, it is a serviceable addition to easy-reader collections.-Nancy A. Gifford, Schenectady County Public Library, NY Copyright 1999 Cahners Business Information.
