Spot swings, snoops, chases pigeons, and plays ball in his latest adventure. Lift-up flaps, expendable and unexciting, hide a player or comment. Less enticing than 'Where's Spot?' (Putnam).

PreS-Gr 1-- Another Spot book with large print, dialogue balloons, uncluttered illustrations, and flaps that are easy to lift. The younger crowd will identify with the dog's activities (playing with his ball, on the swings, and with his friends) ; early readers, especially reluctant ones, will also enjoy the interactive format and the minimal text. An additional title that's sure to be popular. --Ruth Smith, formerly at Chicago Public Library
