Oi Puppies!

What do our readers think of Oi Puppies!? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the funny rhymes, colourful pictures and silly puppies, especially when the story is read aloud. Some children find the long list of puppies and rhyming places less exciting than the funniest moments, but they still enjoy joining in with the repeated patterns.

What does the Pageticker team say about Oi Puppies!?

We love the energetic rhymes, bright illustrations and wonderfully silly puppy chaos in this lively read-aloud. The repeated patterns invite children to join in, predict the next rhyme and laugh at the puppies’ antics, although the busy scenes and fast-moving nonsense may be best enjoyed with an adult helping younger children follow along.
