The art is simple but zesty.... The casual roundness and deep silliness to the pooches occasionally recalls James Marshall, and the climactic spread...provides an enjoyable callback and a bit of hunt-and-ID fun. Even non-dog fans will appreciate the exuberant contrasts [and] the jocular illustrations. -- <i>Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books</i>, starred review"The Long Dog...demonstrates how an imaginative creator can energize the classic restricted vocabulary beginning reader, as Seltzer plays on pattern and concept while maintaining a lively narrative rhythm and pulling off a satisfying ongoing joke in this amusing overview of dogs." -- Center for Children's Books (2016 Gryphon Honor Book)<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Eric Seltzer has written several early readers including BAKE, MICE, BAKE and DOG ON HIS BUS.
