What's the story?
SNOW DOG, GO DOG, part of a series that also includes Fun Dog, Sun Dog and Cool Dog, School Dog, features the silly antics of Tinka the golden retriever with the family who adopted her. Here, Tinka and her boy make the most of the fun possibilities -- sliding, sledding, hide-and-seek, and more.
Is it any good?
Snow Dog, Go Dog celebrates the joy of a wagging, playful pet who's always there to greet you, play with you, act silly, and share adventures. Rhyming and repetition, along with lively, colorful illustrations, capture the pure delight of connecting with beloved animals. Dog-loving kids will enjoy Tinka's silliness and the way her boy cares for her. Parents will like the way rhyming and repetition make language as much fun as playing in the snow with your dog.
