Chip is a wise dog. He knows a lot of things, and most of them involve what to eat and what not to eat. Do eat homework, don’t eat bees. Do eat Thanksgiving turkey, don’t eat bees. Do eat socks…again, don’t eat bees.

This is a funny and fun read that will have kids giggling throughout. Chip is silly and quirky and definitely goofy. The illustrations add even more humor to the story by giving motion and emotion to Chip’s antics and suggestions. They also show a softer side to Chip and how much he cares about his humans (especially the small humans). This is a fun story that would be good as a read aloud for kids 3 and up.
