4.0 out of 5 stars the pictures are wonderful!, Dec 1 1997
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dogs Think That Everyday Is Christmas (Hardcover)
if you think that your dog is a real person then you will love the illustrations! Dogs have personalities and you will love these dogs. Both Ray Bradbury and Louise Max have captured the essence of dogs and their unique individual character!

2.0 out of 5 stars Pleasant enough, I suppose, April 10 2000
By David J. Loftus - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dogs Think That Everyday Is Christmas (Hardcover)
Let's get one thing straight: Ray Bradbury is one of my favorite writers. His novel _Something Wicked This Way Comes_ is one of my personal favorites. I have read Bradbury stories aloud to live audiences, and performed a couple of them from memory as well.

But Bradbury is not much of a poet. On the spectrum from Eliot and Stevens down to McKuen, he comes much closer to the latter. Bradbury writes rich, poetic prose which works as such most of the time, but his poems are rarely more than mildly interesting or pretty thought-rambles.

So it is with "Dogs Think That Every Day Is Christmas," a Hallmark-card-ish tribute to our lively four-footed friends. The illustrations by Louise Reinoehl Max are nice enough, but hardly inspired.

What makes this inexpensive bauble collectible for Bradbury completists (which includes me -- I ordered one from Amazon, after all), or perhaps for people who are VERY sentimental about canines, is the introduction, which includes a story about a boyhood trauma relating to a dog, and the lifelong effects.

I'm glad to have a copy to add to my collection, but I doubt I'll ever open it again.
