Book Reviews of Go, Dog. Go!: P.D. Eastman's Book of Things That Go
Book Review: This is NOT "Go, Dog. Go!"
Summary: 1 Stars
Eastman's "Go, Dog. Go!" is a wonderful book. BUT THIS IS NOT IT! This book is a small board book that has most of the original illustrations and a completely different text. It is not an "adaptation" of the original text; it is something completely different and far less enjoyable. It even uses words that are not in Eastman's original eighty-word set (a major issue when dealing with beginning readers).If you love "Go, Dog. Go!", as I do, buy it! But this is not it.
Book Review: A colorful, Seuss-like exploration of travel; fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
Go,Dog,Go is P.D. Eastman's colorful tale about travel by land, sea, and air. Using animated dogs of green, blue, yellow, and red, the story is a page by page, Seuss-like poetry that reads with sing-song language and bold illustrations. Toddlers will have the book memorized in an hour, but the tale is timeless and the language is vibrant enough to keep them coming back for more. Go, Dog, Go is destined to be a classic favorite on your child's bookshelf!Book Review: A cute adaptation
Summary: 5 Stars
Go Dog, Go is one of my favorites from my childhood. I actually went out looking for this book before I had children. The absolute GREATEST in preschool fantasy!! Anyway, this board book was, at first, a bit of a disappointment. It doesn't follow the original text. But, I soon became hooked on this new adaptation for babies. Simple. Introduces lots of new vocabulary. Full of excitement. And at the end? Remember the book? Well... a dog party!Book Review: Yes, its different from the original - but my toddler loves it!
Summary: 4 Stars
If you've read the original, longer, book this one might seem odd. It's a couple dozen pics from the original book, with new text (that - if you've read the original - doesn't seem to fit the pictures very well). BUT: my 17 mo old son doesn't have the attention span for the longer version. This shorter one repeats two of his favorite words (go and dog) over and over. We read this book many times a day - it's one of his favorites.Book Review: Perfect for a young dog lover
Summary: 5 Stars
Our toddler absolutely loves this book. She is obsessed with dogs, so this is one of her favorites. She (nor I) have seen the original version and this suits our purposes just fine. It's compact, durable, and has lots of doggie pictures. She giggles and claps when we get to the Dog Party page. When she's older, we'll definitely get the full version of this book. But for a 15-month-old, this version is perfect.
