Brief Summary: This book goes through the months and uses poems to describe what the dog does during those particular months. The poems describe the different seasons, which includes weather, activities, and even dress atire. This poems are written through a dog's point of view of the months.
How you would use: I would use these poems to tie in the months and the seasons. This would be a great book to introduce during circle time. The first sentence of each poem tells the month, but you could skip that line and read the rest of the poem and let the students guess which month is being read aloud.
