Summary: The book starts with a man sitting next to a tree with his dog, and he decides that he is going to teach his dog 100 words. So he starts to go over the words that he will teach his dog, mow the grass, paint the chair, and such. And soon his dog is a big hit with all the neighbors, and it keeps counting how many action words he can teach his dog. When we reach 100 words it goes back to the man at the tree and he says that he will start teaching his dog the words next year.
My Reaction to the Book: This book is really great because it covers a lot of words and would be a great tool for teaching to read and for learning words. Also it has the Illustrations of the words being performed (They are all action words) and that helps with the remembrance of the words.
Potential Problems: One of the problems I can see with this book is promoting procrastination, but it is a subtle promotion.
Recommendations: I would recommend this book because it is a great learning tool for children who are reading, with all the words it would help with pronunciation and it would be a great read as well.
