Bark in the Park!: Poems for Dog Lovers by Avery Corman and pictures by Hyewon Yum offers short two to four-line rhyming poems illustrated with colored lined drawings. There is a poem for  each of 38 different breeds. While enjoyable and easily understandable to young listeners, the poems lack the humor and heart of some earlier dog poetry books such as Patricia MacLachlan’s Once I Ate a Pie. Children will enjoy the end papers that show all the breeds represented, and if their favorite breed is included, all the better.
