Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books) Review
User Submitted Go, Dog. Go! (Beginner Books) ReviewsOctober 14, 2008 Go Dog Go Go, Dog.Go! by P.D. Eastman, is a great book for young children ages 3-8. it shows children the differences between these comparisons.:big/little, like/dislike, in/out, top/bottom, up/down, over/under, day/night, work/play and different colors. This book is meant for getting children to try to read all by them selves. The vibrant and exciting pictures of different looking dogs will keep young children's attention. This book is a little long for young children's book, it's 64 pages long. I strongly recommend this book for any little kid it's a good one. October 6, 2008 What More Can I Say? This was my 4 girls' favorite book EVER when they were little. I highly recommend it for any and all children out there. September 24, 2008 Easy Reader For Dog Lovers A Seuss-style easy reader just made for dog lovers of all ages. A classic in every sense and a wonderful book to read to little ones just emerging into reading on their own. The colorful illustrations keep your child's attention, along with the dog action! My kids love this book and I recommend it. For the same ages, another colorful easy reader is Ladybug Baby Bug, by Janice and Mark Perkins. I really think you'll enjoy both in your home collection. September 12, 2008 A fun -- and educational -- classic! I hadn't seen this book for at least 25 years or more, until my mom started reading it to my son (her grandson). I was instantly transported back to my own young childhood, to the point where I remembered pages before turning to them. I remembered where the dogs were going and why they were going fast -- they were going to a dog party, a big dog party! Our 2.5 year old boy really loves this book, and even more satisfying, I can see it really making him think about language and how to say things. Beyond the little "romance" story line, I personally think the main benefit of this book is that it shows a little one how the English language works. Think prepositions. If you've ever tried to learn a foreign language or know one, you'll know that prepositions, and how they work are among the most difficult things to master. This book shows how most of them work, for example, "two dogs, in a house, on a boat, in the water," illustrated to demonstrate the meaning. Our little guy is growing up bilingual (American Dad, Italian Mom), so his speaking is somewhat delayed as he sorts everything out. It was a true joy to hear him the other night say "green up" (well, more like "geen up") and "yellow down" for the page where "the green dog is up, and the yellow dog is down." So, as the many other reviews have noted, there is so much positive about this book, and I join the others in recommending it very much. Fun, educational, and interesting to look at -- what more could there be in a kids' book? July 24, 2008 I remember reading this one as a child :) So of course it thrills my heart that my two nieces (2.5 and 5) like it too. This book is really an early reader, it's not *intended* for children under that age, though of course it can function as a read-aloud for little-little ones. (Not always - my younger niece won't always sit through this one, it's a bit long!) There are two running plots in the book, one about hats, and one about where the dogs are all ultimately going; these two plots meet marvelously at the end of the book. (For *months*, I couldn't go a day without having to re-enact "Do you like my hat? I do, I like that hat, what a party hat!" with the older niece!) Most of the book, however, is caught up with just basic vocabulary words, mostly about dogs - "One dog going in, three dogs going out" or "The sun is up, the sun is yellow, the yellow sun is over the house". This can be a little tedious, but I the kids don't seem to think so - even at their fidgiest, they want me to say every word. May 22, 2008 Allô. Do you like my hat? This is my favorite book of all time. I can't recommend it highly enough. If the "dog party in the trees" doesn't make you weep with joy, I don't know what will. For the last forty years or so, I have been looking -- and I mean this literally, not figuratively -- for said party. That's a bit cracked, I know, but I just can't help myself. May 18, 2008 My favorite book growing up I loved this book and read it all the time when I was little. I plan on buying it when I have kids. The pictures are colorful and fun. The words are easy to learn and each page seems to come alive with it's own story. March 19, 2008 The best book ever! Can recite the whole book. I always buy this for baby showers!. It is a fun and happy book and I always loved reading it to children. January 28, 2008 Great book My grandson loves this book. He's only 18 months but loves to cuddle up w/this book. December 27, 2007 go dog go i enjoyed this book as a child, so i got it for my grandson[17 months old]. I hope he will be happy with it as well. For more Go, Dog. Go!
