Title: Awful!
Review: This book has very cute illustrations, but the story is awful. Shaggy dog asks for help for a horrible itch, and no one will help him without making sure he pays up first. Such a great lesson to teach kids - don't help anyone (even if they are in pain) unless they help you first. Then each person scratches him with various instruments - a shepherd's crook, a fork(?!) and a brush. I wonder how many poor dogs have had a child chase after them with a fork to "help" them after reading this book. I'd take this book to a used book store, but it's bad enough that I'll probably just throw it away. The other books I've received by this author are fine, but I stopped reading this one aloud to my daughter after the first couple of pages.
