Antics of Lady A Playful Basset Hound by Brigitte Pace is a playful narration of the story of the basset hound, Lady. Lady loves to play and she loves adventures. The story is narrated in a poetry form, using rhyming words. With her imagination and creativity, the author spins some delightful limericks that will make children smile at the antics of Lady. The playfulness in the writing style and a clever use of rhyming words makes it an exciting read for children, along with its colorful illustrations. This is a lighthearted, fun-filled story book that will put a smile on the faces of young readers.

Children will like the book for its simplicity, and the style of telling the story in verses makes it very appealing. The rhyming verses are effective and lend a lyrical quality to the narration. This rhyming verse captures the playfulness of Lady beautifully:

'I love magic and tricks
I also love chocolate bics
Yummy! They are so good
I would eat a packet a day if I
could!'

The book will make a good bedtime story book and will also be perfect for read-aloud sessions in classrooms and libraries. The book introduces children to the concept of rhyming words, which the author has done nicely. The illustrations in the book are bright and colorful and they give movement to the story. Lady's playfulness is depicted pictorially, giving the verses more clarity and effectiveness. This poetic story of Lady will excite children with its fun and adventure. A delightful book. Lady will find a place in the hearts of readers with her playfulness and endearing behavior.
