About this ebook

P.D. Eastman's canine classic—perfect for fans of the Netlix Original Go, Dog. Go! animated preschool series!
 
Written for beginning readers using only 75 different words, this beloved Beginner Book by P.D. Eastman—edited by Dr. Seuss—features all kinds of wonderful dogs riding bicycles, scooters, skiis, roller skates, and driving all sorts of vehicles on their way to a party held on top of a tree! This is a perfect gift for P.D. Eastman fans and dog lovers of all ages!

Originally created by Dr. Seuss himself, Beginner Books are fun, funny, and easy to read. These unjacketed hardcover early readers encourage children to read all on their own, using simple words and illustrations. Smaller than the classic large format Seuss picture books like The Lorax and Oh, The Places You'll Go!, these portable packages are perfect for practicing readers ages 3-7, and lucky parents too!

 "The canine cartoons make an elementary text funny and coherent and still one of the best around."--School Library Journal.

    This story is perfect for beginning readers. They can use the illustrations to figure out the words. The dogs are humanized in the story to help kids relate to it. It teaches opposites, greetings, colors, and positions in space. It is a fun way to learn about regular things.

    Go, Dog. Go! is a book that is for young children that uses many sight words that children learn early on. It has good vocabulary but there is very little story line. This book is written by P.D. Eastman and is similar to many Dr. Seuss books. Although loved by many I cannot say that I like this book. I just do not believe that it is interesting enough to keep the interest of young readers. With that being said, I have to say that the language was simple and easy. Many of the words were repeated over and over making it easier for the young reader to read. Phrases like “big dog and little dog, red dog, blue dog, and yellow dog are throughout the book. The sentences are quite short and easy to read. I realize that this is good thing for new readers but it does not excite me and did not even as a child. The illustrations are drawn in order to match the words in the story so that the child reading can use the pictures to help him read the sentences. This makes sense from a reading point of view. They are fun and colorful and appealed to the audience the book is intended for. Finally there is not any plot to this story. Every page or every 2-3 pages have similar text relating to something in particular. For example, there are a couple dogs that meet a different times throughout the book and the dialogue is as follows: “Hello.” “Hello.” “Do you like my hat?” “I do not like it.” “Good-by” “Good-by.” By repeating the word and phrases over and over again it helps the reader be successful. Although I understand the purpose of the a beginning reader book I can say that I do not like this particular one. I am hoping that there will be others that I like better.

    I enjoyed reading this book when I was very young. I remember my parents reading git to me, and also me reading it to myself, and eventually my brother. I loved the pictures. This fiction book is almost a fantasy, since what happens in it is so far fetched. It is an adorable read.

    The big message of this story is to teach repetition and rhyming to students. As a child this was one of my favorite books. I like how repetitive the book is. For example, when the dogs greet each other and say good bye to each other it happens a few times. Another reason I liked it was the pictures. They show everything that is happening in the story.

    This book was pretty good because although it stayed on the surface, it had great illustrations and is a fun book to get kids interested in reading. The book has a quick pace, and shallow characters. The book doesn't make the reader think about anything, but the reader has fun while going on crazy adventures with the dogs.

    Great book for early readers. Children enjoy reading this one to adults to show how far they have come along in their reading, yet it brings them a good laugh.

    I liked this "beginning readers" book for the purpose it seemed to be designed for, but it was not the most interesting read. However, I liked that it featured canine characters, as I love dogs, and I did even more so when I was a child. A lot of the sentences in this book are repetitive, with just slight variations, which make it much easier for a beginning reader to read as they aren't constantly being exposed to many unfamiliar words. The central message of this book was not abundantly obvious to me, as I believe it was written more with the purpose of helping a child learn to read than to tell a particularly moving story, but I believe the main idea is about acceptance of others.

    "Go, Dog. Go!" is a fun story by P.D. Eastman that shows dogs doing crazy things. Some dogs are on a boat while others are on a ferris wheel. There are different types of dogs in the story - big, little, green, blue, black, white, yellow, red, etc. All the dogs are constantly on the go until a little bird tells them to stop because there is a red light. Once the light changes to green again, the dogs take off and head to a party. The common thread in the story is the interaction between two dogs. The one dog asks the other if he likes her hat to which he constantly replies that he does not. Eventually, after creating a party hat, the dog with the hat asks the other dog if he likes her hat. This time, he responds that he does.It is a great story for teaching students about colors or prepositions. Almost every page uses prepositions to describe where the dogs are or what they are doing. The story also uses a lot of comparison to compare two groups - i.e. big vs. little, red vs. blue, etc.

    i remember when i was 6 and being able to read this book by myself so i wanted my grandson to be able to do the same thing. he loves books and is always reading them. some i think he's memorized cuz he can't do some of the words. because i sent the book to them i didn't read it. but i do know it's about comparisons. tall/short, wet/not wet, fast/slow, etc the dogs line up for a race to the big tree. it's a really nice surprise when you reach the tree at the end of the race.

    This book depicts dogs going about their daily lives, and all the fun that they have. Parties, driving, working, and playing, these colorful canines are very busy critters! The story jumps around some, but includes practical lessons like when to yield to pedestrians and being honest. A great little book for early readers.

    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.

    WARNING! SPOILERS AHEAD!A lonely pink dog, determined to win the heart of the fellow she loves, decides to impress him with her headgear. Unfortunately, this love interest has no taste in hats, and consistently tells her he does not like her hat. Their multicolored friends, eager to help, try to do so by going through mazes, driving around in cars, playing on blimps, etc. until finally they stage a huge dog party in an incredibly sturdy tree, where the protagonist's headwear finally attracts the attention of the love interest and they ride off into the sunset.--ca

    This book is just "fair" for a toddler. It doesn't have much of a plot and it seems to go on forever. However it does teach "over" and "under" etc. and it has some interesting illustrations.

    With a small list of repeating words this story quickly engages the young mind. My son always loves getting to the last page where they climb the tree to the "Dog Party!"

    One of the nightly requests for about a year. This book is jammed packed with examples of colors, adverbs, conflicting interests, and most of all dogs. Children really pay attention to this one when read with different voices. Fun for about the first week to parents.
    Happy Reading Kids!

    Genre: I would definitely classify this as poetry, because even though it is primary, it teaches how to rhyme certain phrases together to make sense. It flows easily from page to page, and even in its most primitive form, shows us different things that "go" through the eyes of different "dog situations". It can make poetry fun for everyone, even though this is a silly story and wouldn't happen in real life.The media that is used in this book looks like ink for outlining and colored pencil to fill it all in. The illustrations in this book are very small and detailed, but they are fun and all colored in deliberately in primary colors. It also looks like graphite pencil for different black and white outlines and stencils throughout various pages. This is a great book for children to look at for how to draw dogs.

    Genre: Fantasy Age Appropriateness: PrimaryReview: This book is a good example of fantasy because the dogs are personified and perform human tasks. However, the story contains no real plot, which makes it hard to stay interested. It is written for beginner readers who are practicing sounds and rhymes. The pages offer insight to various activities dogs can do, such as sleeping and riding bicycles. Media: This book is a good example of pencil media because the pictures are drawn with pencils. The pencils allow the illustrations to be different dimensions, colors, shades, textures, and blends. The pencils also enhance the pictures by offering various shades of the color.

    Go, Dog. Go Is a book by P.D. Eastman in the Beginner Books collection which stems from the Dr. Seuss series. I enjoyed this book very much because of its use of words and its use of motion. The book uses various sight words and prepositions throughout the story. This book is wonderful for introducing prepositions since it uses very simple sentences. Also, almost every page in this book has some sort of motion in the text as well as the pictures. On every page there is a dog moving in a transportation vehicle or jumping, running, and climbing. This sense of motion makes the book very exciting to read and introduces modes of transportation like boats, helicopters, and cars. The main idea of this book is to increase reader fluency since there is no story to this book.

    This book compares all different types of dog. The whole book rhymes. Dogs are what you make them, they can be work dogs, play dogs, party dogs, etc.
