This is a nice little kids' book. It's about a dog who finds he can fly. When he tells his friends they don't believe him and he tries to prove it but can't because he can only fly when he's happy.

This is an imaginative story, and one that ties in nicely with that childhood feeling of wishing you could fly.

The language is simple and rhythmic and rolls off your tongue almost like a song.

The illustrations are full page and very colourful, so it grabs your child's attention through the sense of sight. The inclusion of animals in the illustrations is always something kids warm to and I know that is a big part of what makes this book so interesting.

I would say there's a nice message to the story; something about staying positive in the face of criticism can easily be pulled from it which is good.

The text is in speech bubbles which will annoy some people but I don't mind it at all.

All in all a nice simple kids' book.

Summary: do it
