Synopsis

A joyful picture book about making friends and falling in love, based on the familiar, fun-filled children's song.

Do your ears hang low,
Do they wobble to and fro?
Can you tie them in a knot?
Can you tie them in a bow?

Two sweet, foolish, floppy-eared puppies make friends and bounce their way through this fun-filled whimsical song!

Caroline Jayne Church's puppies are as enchanting as the rhyme itself--and will have children wagging their ears to and fro in no time!

About this title

Review:

And they call it puppy love... Two bouncy puppies meet at the top of a hill and befriend each other to the tune of the much-loved children's song, "Do Your Ears Hang Low?" Granted, musical notation is not included, but anyone reading "Do your ears hang low? Do they wobble to and fro? Can you tie them in a knot? Can you tie them in a bow?" will be hard-pressed not to sing the words. The puppies act out the song, tossing their ears over their shoulders ("like a continental soldier") and waving them at their neighbor ("with an element of flavor"). A gatefold flap at the end of the story-song reveals a double-your-pleasure surprise, as the pups' ears entwine for a "heartening" finale. Readers are invited to follow along with illustrated hand movements. Caroline Jayne Church's sweet, goofy, cartoon-like pictures suit the silliness perfectly. (Ages 2 to 6) --Emilie Coulter
