My Dog is Lost!

By Ezra Jack Keats

Book Overview

One of the first books Keats ever wrote, My Dog is Lost! is an appealing story about a Spanish-speaking boy on his second day in New York City, struggling to find his lost dog. Effortlessly mixing Spanish phrases with their English counterparts, this bilingual book is just as relevant today as it was when it was first published more than 30 years ago.

Customer Reviews

Who knew?

I loved this book! It was nice to see a character who was from Puerto Rico and Ezra Jack Keats really included a lot of diversity in this book. A must have!

Extremely Cute Story

This is a very cute story that children will love. I also highly recommend two other books by latino authors: Drum, Chavi, Drum! (by Mayra L. Dole) and Trinos Choice (by Diane Gonzales Bertrand).

Wonderful Spanish lesson for early readers.

I vividly remember this book from my childhood -- and I vividly remember the Spanish words and phrases I learned from it. Very practical and engaging.
