Review by Kirkus Book Review
Join the fun and be the "boopiest booper with booping flair!" Get your finger ready to boop a dog on the snoot. As Birdsong explains, a snoot is a nose, and a boop is a gentle tap. After all, "snoots need boops." The floppy-eared golden canine star of this tale loves boops and celebrates after receiving one. (A warning opposite the title page notes that children should ask permission before booping a real dog.) One spread contains a counting exercise as readers are asked to count "One snoot. Two snoots. Three snoots. Four. And boop one more!" Young listeners will love interacting with the playful cartoon illustrations to find and give boops to the "floofiest" and "smooshiest" snoots. Another page invites them to boop a pooch sitting on a seesaw, one who's standing on a wagon, and another who's lying upside down on a giant ball. The dogs' excitement increases with each creative page turn. Readers must even rotate the book 90 degrees at the height of the "boopiest boop-bonanza." Amid all the joyful chaos, the main dog looks directly at readers and orders them to "STOP the BOOK!" After all, "there's one more snoot that needs a boop!" Laughter will ensue as readers are asked to get their fingers ready and boop their own snoots. (This book was reviewed digitally.) Will give adults and children alike many reasons to giggle.
