My Thoughts: Bailey is a cute black and white dog whose human owner is a mailman. As Bailey's owner does his rounds delivering mail, the dog explores the neighborhood with his doggie friend Frankie.



This book will do well with the younger side of the picture book spectrum. The story is written in short, simple sentences on each page. Sometimes maybe too simple. I thought the drawings were cute and the photos at the end were a nice touch. Although I enjoyed the adventures of Bailey, I agree with another reviewer who said they didn't like the end. The owner reacts to the dog's escapades takes the fun out of the story.
