ALA Booklist (Fri Oct 01 00:00:00 CDT 1999)

An affectionate pet story in the Viking Easy-to Read series introduces very simple concepts of relative size. As in Tiny's Bath , there's a minimal repetitive text, with clear, colorful illustrations of a boy and his dog. Tiny is a big dog, but when he was tiny, he fit in the boy's shoe or pocket. Then Tiny grew and grew; now he towers over the boy. Each scenario shows the bond between the boy and his pet, even when Tiny doesn't realize how big he has grown and gets in trouble. Tiny is always the boy's best friend. (Reviewed October 1, 1999)

Tiny, a light brown, slightly more petite version of Clifford the Big Red Dog, fit his name when he was a puppy, but now he's large enough to do things, both good and not so good, that he couldn't do when he was small. The affection between a boy and his pet comes through in a minimum of words and bright, spunky cartoon illustrations.

Kirkus Reviews

Meister (Tiny's Bath, p. 303) records the continuing adventures of the misnamed Tiny, and the results will captivate new readers. The narrator, Tiny's owner, chronicles the development of his beloved pet, comparing the period when Tiny was a relatively small puppy to his current massive, fully grown state. Many humorous details emerge as Tiny masters new skills, including running fast and learning tricks. Meister's compact sentences and the manageable vocabulary ease the transition to reading alone; the recurrence of key words aids in recognition and builds confidence, while the antics of Tiny will keep interest at a peak. Davis's brightly colored, ebullient illustrations, with their comic-book energy, expertly convey the camaraderie between owner and dog. (Picture book. 4-7)

Young readers will enjoy this sweet, funny story about a very big dog who was once a tiny puppy. Not since Clifford has a big dog been so appealing!
