Book cover Dogku
Andrew Clements (2007) , under 40 pages
Illustrated by Tim Bowers
Audience: Primary (k-3rd grade)
Category: Humor, NCCBA, Read Aloud
(This book has outstanding illustrations)


Dogku is a picture book written in haiku. When a stray dog shows up on a family’s doorstep,they must learn to adjust to the antics of this playful creature. Watch Mooch, the dog, as he goes through a day with his new family. Will they keep him? A humorous tale of an expressive dog who gets into mischief throughout the day. Children will love the colorful illustrations by Tim Bowers which were completed using oil paint and canvas. The haiku and the illustrations can each stand alone independently in this story, however together they compliment each other.
