Da BOMB!!!

I never knew that canines had their own languages until I picked up "Yiddish for Dogs" on a lark. Notwithstanding the title, that book turned out to be the perfect stocking stuffer. I still keep copies of YfD for dog-loving friends who stop by my crib for a visit. "Hip Hop for Dogs" is a bit more edgy than the sweeter YfD. In fact, you could probably say that it has a lot of chutzpah! That being said, I have a lot of fly friends, so I will definitely be spending some chedda on a few copies of this phat book so I can give them out to my homies in the Hood. P.S. The dogs in this book are adorable!

YO, BE A TOP DAWG PLAYA AND GET A COPY

Another hysterically funny lexicon by author and illustrator Janet Perr. They say that if you want to incorporate a new word into your everyday vocabulary, you need to use it several times within the first week of learning it. Here goes: This book is DA BOMB. Perr's previous book, "Yiddish for Dogs", might be more my FLAVA, but I'm trying to be a FLY DAWG so I can fit in my HOOD. How's that for a PHAT DAWG?

Hey Sista!

This is such a great learning tool for young and old, African-American or White, gay or straight, biyatch or baby daddy. Loved it! Woof! xoxo J.

The most hilarious

I am generally not around hip hop language, and only notice people using the terms infrequently. This little book has had me roaring in my seat while becoming acquainted with the words. I have to show my favorites to anyone who comes by. I think my favorite is "Homies" - 3 pugs in red hoodies- outrageous. Outstanding!

Phat book

From the author's mother: Hi Janet, I LOVE your book. And I am delighted to be learning a new language. I am pleased to say that I may be fat, but I am also PHAT. Your book is displayed on my table and it is a great decoration for my CRIB. Thanks so much for my copy. SUP??? Love, Mom
