I love to read the Martha books as much as my 4 year old son loves to have them read to him. My son wants to give the family dog alphabet soup now so she can talk too. LOL!! Buy this book your kids will love it!

My 6 yr old dd is an avid reader. She has started reading the first four Martha books and loves them. They have the same sillyness as the Amelia Bedilia books. A very good book for young readers. The illustrations are well done and you'll find your child wanting to read these books over and over.

Martha is a dog and one day she eats a bowl of alphabet soup and suddenly finds she can talk. Martha and her dog friend Skits go for a walk down town. They see a man advertising a Perfect Pup School. He claims that he can turn any dog in to the `perfect" pet! Martha sees right through the scheme right and way and sets out to prove to everyone that the man is a fraud! The main characters in the book are dogs. Children seem to enjoy stories about dogs. Yes The colorful pictures are well drawn and pleasing to the eye.
