Book Review - As Good As Gold: A Dog's Life In Poems

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Celebrating the simple things in life as seen through the eyes of our old time favorite furry friends,

 “As Good as Gold” is a volume of poetry revealing the talent and humor we always knew our dogs possessed.

Dogs are full of questions, yet they are famed sellers of innocence especially when it comes to explaining their mishaps and often foolish effervescence through such pondering as “Why IS a Cat Not Like a Dog”, “As Brown as Chocolate”, “Silver Stars and Puppy Tail” or, best yet, “Dog or Book?”

A book with an enormous heart for readers of all ages, it includes 35 poems and haiku accompanied by expressive portraits of our canine friends. The poems are grouped in: Questions, Colors, Musings and Haiku.

MY REVIEW:

This book is absolutely delightful! I enjoyed each and every poem and found myself laughing out loud at some of the true antics of these adorable puppy thoughts.

I am a real dog lover and it was so wonderful reading poems about my favorite friend. I really enjoyed how Patricia brought other animals into the poems, too. I adore all the descriptive words about these other animals like pigeons, cats, frogs and more! I really felt like I was seeing things as my furry friends see them.

These poems are so relaxing and a wonderful read plus there are adorable photographs to view, as well. I really enjoyed them as an adult but they would be fantastic for reading to our children. They would really enjoy hearing all about the doggie antics.

I can't tell you how much I enjoyed reading this book! I was so touched by so many of them because the author is a wonderful writer and made me feel all those warm, fuzzy feelings that animals bring to my heart.

I highly recommend this book of poetry and I think you'll enjoy it as much as I did, whether you're a dog lover or not. I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
