Picture Book Review: Go, Dog. Go!

by P.D. Eastman, Beginner Books a division of Random House, New York, 1961.
This is one of my favorite books ever.  I love the pictures of the dogs.  I especially like two bits.  There are a couple of dogs, "Do you like my hat."  "I do not like it"  And then finally, I do. What a hat. I like it!  I like that party hat!"  And then there is the Ferris wheel, and the dog that says, "Go around again."  These two statements are part of my vernacular, and I often come back to them.

Rhyming Book Review: I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words

I'll Teach My Dog 100 Words by Michael Frith, illustrated by P.D. Eastman, A Bright and Early Book, Random House, New York, 1973.
This is a book with lots of pictures of the narrators dog, describes the words he would teach his dog.  It is mildly amusing.  But the dog pictures are great.

Picture Book Review: Are You My Mother?

"Are You My Mother?" by P.D. Eastman, illustrated by P.D. Eastman, Random House, New York, 1960.  This is one of the best children's picture books ever written.  P.D. Eastman did both the illustrations and the story.  He dedicated the story to his mother.  This is a book about mother's, and a bird who has misplaced his mother.  Nothing seems to go right, as he cannot find his mother; until the evil "Snork" helps him.
