Book Reviews of Go, Dog. Go!: P.D. Eastman's Book of Things That Go

Book Review: None of the educational value of the original "Go, Dog, Go!"
Summary: 1 Stars

I'm a big fan of board books -- they are a great product. And I was fully prepared to see a condensed version of the original "Go, Dog, Go" when I purchased this board book version. I understand they have to tell the story in far fewer pages.

But I was stunned with they changed the text so drastically. Except for the illustrations, you will not recognize the book at all. The wonderful thing about the original version is that it does an incredible job teaching concepts like "over," "on," "under," "in," as well as "little," "big," and colors. You will find NONE of that in this version of the book. And there's none of the "Do you like my hat?" sub-plot you find in the original that kids think is so funny.

Instead, they filled the pages with completely new text that teaches ... well ... nothing. No kidding.

So if you are purchasing this book because you are looking for a book that won't get destroyed by your baby or toddler (like all board books), that's fine.

However, I would instead encourage you to try other board books that at least carry the same theme as classic versions, like the "Are You My Mother?" board book which I believe was created by the same publisher. They did a much better job turning that into a board book without being so disrespectful to the author's original intent.

And then when your child is a little older and won't rip pages to shreds, purchase the ORIGINAL "Go, Dog, Go!" -- an outstanding educational book.
