This is just about right for Maggie at 20 months ... she knows most of the words and can pick out the actions of the doggies.
I had a book baby shower when I was expecting Brady. I asked guests to bring whatever book was a favorite in their home or from their childhood. This book was given 4 times. :)
The nephew loves the dog in the car. I remember this from my childhood. The ladder going up into the tall tree is memorable.
This is a bit of a weird one. It doesn’t rhyme. There’s no storyline. It has some opposites, but a lot of random stuff. My kid liked it though, so that’s a thumbs up. :)
lighthearted
fast-paced
This is a decent book for teaching kids directions and the position of objects/people in relation to each other. I personally liked the development of the relationship between the yellow dog and the pink poodle. Their mutual appreciation for hats is sweet.
This book is a childhood favourite, and after finding it again after so many years, I still loved it. Yes, as an adult, I still love this book.
This is a good book for early readers. Simple reading with colors and opposites.
I loved this book as a kid, and I was thrilled that I read it today with my youngest. I have four children who have all loved this book. However, today I was overjoyed to have my daughter read it to me. She's learning disabled, but read the book with ease. She used to struggle with this book, but today she even read it with dramatic effect and pointed out the parts that I had forgotten, like how the boy dog took the feather away from the girl dog's hat. There was also the drawing where one of the dogs in the bed was still sleeping while all the other dogs leaped awake. The night before one of the dogs lay awake, his lone eyes lighting up the dark. Little touches like that in the cartoon-style illustrations made this book gold to me. Somehow, P.D. Eastman took a story with simple words and fashioned a creative tale with surprises and humor.
Weirdly shortened
Edited down from the original so it loses much of its charm and dramatic arc. The drama of "do you like my hat" is absent

I'm ashamed, as a book-lover and elementary teacher, that I only recently realized Go, Dog, Go! is not a Dr. Seuss title. Come to find out, Eastman was a protege of Theodor Geisel. I am fully enlightened.
Go, Dog, Go! is aimless absurdity, yet it's a wonderful early reader in its repetition of beginning sight words. I remember it from childhood, and it still charms me today.
