Manny the TV Watching Dog - Book One by Linda Derkez is a cheerful book for children. Manny is a little dog who cleans, cooks, and babysits. This is the first in the series of books about Manny the dog who is helpful. Manny is willing to do the chores in the house. If the master asks her to clean the house, she puts on her apron and starts dusting and cleaning. The master makes her do cleaning, cooking, and baby sitting. Finally he decides she is not that good at her work and should watch TV all day.
The book tells you about the life of Manny. Children will find the story delightful and will find Manny the dog endearing. Manny's life in the household is described well by the author and it is something every child can relate to. We read about cooking, cleaning, babysitting, snack time, potty time, and finally bed time. What interests Manny the most is watching TV and it is a big distraction. Many of us can actually see these scenes unfolding in our homes with our kids on a daily basis. Manny's distractions while doing chores is very common among kids.
The author has taken real-life scenes from households where there are children and written a delightful book. The story with its colorful illustrations will charm the kids. The book will make a good bedtime story and can be used for reading sessions in classrooms and libraries. The illustrations are eye-catching and they give movement to the story.
