Dog’s Diary is a dog’s humorous diary.  In it, we are let in on a week’s worth of events, thoughts, and feelings in a world with an annoying cat, a snooty poodle, and a granny with more than a few complaints.  The first-person narrative is conversational.

The text is composed of a variety of sentence types.  Humorous illustrations support the text.  Headings are used for each diary entry.  Quotation marks, exclamation marks, and parentheses are used.  The book concludes with a two-page spread that provides the characteristics of a diary.

Some words may require clarification: poodle, trust, fuss, hisses.  The suffix -ful (careful) is used.
