PreSchool-Grade 2–Reading this story is like having a romp with the funniest dog in town. As the book opens, two lines of text (Good morning, Fergus!/Want to go out?) frame the irrepressible face of a furry white terrier, black button eyes glistening with excitement. Subsequent pages feature the pups adventures chasing cats and motorbikes, scratching and being scratched, playing in the dirt, begging for meatballs, and riding in the car. No matter what the animal does, his masters refrain is…you guessed it. Readers see everything from a terrier-sized perspective, and they rarely see anyone but Fergus. When he is trampling his owner to request a walk, they catch just a glimpse of a human face. The motorcyclists face is so covered with gear as to be generic. The more intimate portraits here are of things of interest to Fergus–spaghetti and meatballs, for example, or the whipped cream that he likes on his kibble. Shannons artwork is like an overstuffed sofa: colorful, homey, and bouncy. A riotous book to unleash on all readers–even those who own cats.–Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY

K-Gr. 2. Fergus is a West Highland terrier, sort of an antihero to Rosemary Well's doggie, McDuff. He goes wild when he sees a cat, won't come when he's called, eats the daisies, and puddles in the wrong places. Of course, he's not entirely to blame; his unseen master is the sort who tells him not to beg, then slips him a tidbit, and puts whipped cream in his food bowl after the original offering gets only a disdainful sniff. This book is all about the impressive, oversize visuals--pictures that show the adorable doggie in full canine-caper mode: leaping, chasing, digging, not rolling over on command. And the e-pressions on Fergus' face perfectly mirror those of many pets who have the innocent look down pat: "Who me?" However, the best audience for this will be children old enough (or experienced enough with dogs) to catch the humor. Fergus has made cameo appearances in other Shannon books. Come to think of it, maybe he's not so much a counterpoint to McDuff as he is Shannon's David in fur. Ilene Cooper

he who will not eat his kibble without that aerosol artificial whipped cream topping from a can!
It's a wonderful dog's life!

I especially liked the part when the owner is trying to tell Fergus to "Come here, C'mon boy, COME!, YOU COME HERE RIGHT NOW!" as this is a familiar cry to All dog owners, especially if their dog is part hunting dog.
"Dont beg, Fergus."
The next page shows Fergus grinning and licking kibble off his face -- it reads "Oh, all right . . . Good boy, Fergus!" What dog owner hasn't succumbed to that "how can you resist me, I'm so cute" look on a begging puppy?
NO that's there's any physical similaries between Fergus--a SUPER-expressive white terrior--and Sadie. However, both these dogs know how to give "Attitude," with a huge capital A. WHoever said that dogs are easy; cats are hard never met Fergus: Destructive as a bull shopping for china, playful as an otter, and stubborn as the stubbornest mule on either side of your closest mountain range. The disruption starts early as a calm morning walk (Fergus' human holds a newspaper, perhaps thinking he might glance at the headlines) turns into a chase after a cat. Fergus' legs fly in different directions, his tongue lunges forward, and his eyes grow big. Shannon draws this (in gouache and ink, I believe) almost like a cubist painting, "Dog Descending a Porch Trying to Eat a Cat," with playful elongations of time and dimension. The next 2-page spread is all too familiar to dog owners: Fergus, despite much pleading, expert commands ("COME"), and good cop/bad cop negotiations, refuses to return from his post at a squirreled tree.
Fergus knows how to work it. He's cute and cuddly, and he knows it. He can follow the rigorous commands of "Sit," "Roll Over," and "Down." This is a great advantage when wanting that itch scratched or the always-hungry belly filled. Fergus hides under the bed when it's bathtime(though his butt shows), adhere to canine union rules by sticking out his head while Mr. Human drives, successfully--through sheer persistence--gets spaghetti table scraps, and LEAPS upon his human at the mere metion of "walk." He pees on the sidewalk, but that's a dog's perogative, and, before retiring for the evening, waits out dinner until the man squirts it with whipped cream. Dry Food a la Mode, anyone?
I love this book. It captures the obvious and the subtle in well-known dog behaviors, and does so sympathetically. Sure Fergus can be a little work, but Shannon takes the healthy attitude that this is what a dog is like. Show dogs may sniff their noses at this notion, but Fergus is just not one of them, and never will be. Shannon's illustrations are spectacular; the big expanses of color with inkshading and detail, copious use of yellow, and the big green palid jacket of Mr. Human have an exciting 1940's aesthetic. Fergus is all motion and emotion, and Shannon gets it perfectly and playfully, with lots of open space, curvy lines, and multiple actions upn which delighted eyes will dance. Fergus has appeared in ten of Caldecott Honor winner Shannon's previous books, but this is his first as the main character. He acquits himself like a very good dog, indeed.

This review is from: Good Boy, Fergus! (Hardcover)
How David Shannon can get inside the head of our best friend is beyond me. There must be an angry dog somewhere who's barking mad at his or her stolen royalties. In fact, I almost suspect that our dog, the undeniably intelligent,*****, cooperative-yet-willful Sadie the Golden Retriever both co-wrote and modeled for the book. NO that's there's any physical similaries between Fergus--a SUPER-expressive white terrior--and Sadie. However, both these dogs know how to give "Attitude," with a huge capital A. WHoever said that dogs are easy; cats are hard never met Fergus: Destructive as a bull shopping for china, playful as an otter, and stubborn as the stubbornest mule on either side of your closest mountain range.

첫날과 마찬가지로 제목만이라도 알아봅시다.
ㅋㅋㅋ...계획없이...또 다른 워크시트 한 장 하려고 했는데.
수현이의 날카로운...눈. 덕분에.
집중듣기...하다가..컴퓨터로 달려가자...타타탁....몇 자 타이핑해서
What a good dog !
What a bad dog !
퍼거스 책장 넘기며..그림과 어울리는 문장 찾기 했어요.
그러더니...
good mommy....good daddy...
수현이는 문장전체를 발화하기보다는 연결된 어구 정도로
발화하네요..
그럼..엄마가 문장을 완성해서 What a good dog !
What a good girl !
그리고...오늘은 나머지 무료워크시트 한 장..더 !
어제처럼....문자인식이 아직 안된 수현이를 위해.
의도는 한 단어씩..잘라서..문장을 완성하자였는데.
어제 어려워 한 수현이를 위해.
오늘은 한 문장으로..잘라 두어. 그림에 맞는 문장찾아..
풀칠하는 활동...ㅋㅋ
그래도 맞게 잘 하네요..
더욱 발전하는 우리 딸래미...
What a good girl !
