Book Description
When Helen Finney feeds alphabet soup to her dog, Martha, it goes straight up to her brain, and Martha begins to speak! But having a talking dog isn't always as much fun as it seems.
Publisher's Weekly
With the arrival of Martha, Lassie had best look to her canine laurels. This scintillating story weighs the pros and cons of owning a loquacious pet. Thanks to the apparently magical properties of alphabet soup, unassuming mutt Martha is transformed into the Mr. Ed of the canine world. Unfortunately, the novelty for her human family wears off in a hurry: Martha blabs non-stop and commits numerous gaffes--telling one visitor, ``Mom said that fruitcake you sent wasn't fit for a dog. But I thought it was delicious.'' Meddaugh's ( The Witches' Supermarket ; Tree of Birds ) quirky take on the anthropomorphic pooch proves uproarious. Droll illustrations capture Martha's guileless expressions, her joy at the mastery of speech and her hurt feelings after she's commanded to pipe down. The book may be difficult to read aloud because Martha's not-to-be-missed comments, separate from the main narrative, interrupt the tale's flow. Still, anyone who's ever wondered what their pets are thinking will enjoy this imaginative book, its tactless but lovable main character and its triumphant ending.
Children's Literature
The day Martha the dog eats alphabet soup is a day that her human family soon regrets. The letters from the soup travel to Martha's brain, instead of her stomach, enabling her to talk. This amusing premise sets up a delightful tale of a talking dog and her weary owners. After the novelty wears off, the family's patience is sorely tried as Martha talks incessantly through their favorite television shows, orders pizza without permission, and blurts out the truth at the most awkward moments. A lesson in tactfulness and manners is cleverly hidden in the silliness of the text. It isn't until Martha calls the police and thwarts a burglary attempt that she is lauded for being the truly amazing dog that she is. The cartoon-like bubbles containing Martha's dialogue (in itself very funny) and likeable watercolor drawings make this a winner. The text is witty and wry, in keeping with the book's content. New York Times Best Illustrated Book and an ALA Notable Book for Children.
School Library Journal
Martha, a mutt, begins to speak after her young owner slips her a bowl of alphabet soup. She speaks, and speaks, and speaks, until Helen tells her, ``Sometimes I wish you had never learned to talk.'' Martha is devastated, and her withdrawal is alleviated only when she has the opportunity to save her family from a robbery. The pranks in between, including accepting pizza deliveries and phoning for a huge order of barbecue, add to the loopy, incongruous humor. Casual ink-line-and-watercolor cartoons are punctuated by dialogue balloons. In several places, Martha's hand-printed monologue overruns the pages. For reading aloud, the balloons can be included or omitted without damaging the sense of the story. A comparable tale about an unusual pet is Tomi Ungerer's Crictor (HarperCollins, 1958). Any preschool audience and most independent readers will yelp with laughter at this light, funny entertainment.
Review
"Bright with watercolor washes, the cartoon-like ink drawings ensure that book's immediate appeal... A hysterical tail - er, tale."
Ingram
Problems arise when Martha, the family dog, learns to speak after eating alphabet soup.
