Dog Show written by Elizabeth Winthrop and illustrated by Mark Ulriksen is about a man named Harvey who enters his dog, Fred, in the town's annual dog show. He enters Fred in as many competitions as he can, but Fred doesn't win any of them. It was a long day for Harvey and Fred. Just as they were about to go home in disappointment, Fred drags Harvey to the judges table where they are presented with an award.
Dog show was an okay book. It didn't really do much for me. Although the story didn't wow me, I really liked the illustrations and colorfulness of the book. I think children would be fascinated by the book's vibrant illustrations. I really liked the expressions Ulriksen used for both Harvey and Freds' faces. I also found humor in some of the illustrations; for instance, the scene when Fred and Harvey first try on their costumes!
