Editorial Review

Author Wilson Rawls spent his boyhood much like the character of this book, Billy Colman, roaming the Ozarks of northeastern Oklahoma with his bluetick hound. A straightforward, shoot-from-the-hip storyteller with a searingly honest voice, Rawls is well-loved for this powerful 1961 classic and the award-winning novel Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Ulises Cruz Review
I really liked the book and it is a very fun interesting book to read. I really liked that it had to do with some sort of sport. I also liked it because it was book were there was all source of action. There was a little boy that lived in the hills and dream of having two coon hounds. He finally worked and saved enough money to buy himself two. He was so excited to get them that he trained them to hunt. The characters were very believable and never doubted that they were making them up. The plot was very interesting because it was about the kid entering a big coon hunt. He won the competition by treeing four coons with his dogs. The major themes of the story were when on of the Prichard brothers accidentally stabbed himself. The author used a very special way of imagery. He made everything be visual in my head. I was all into the story that I didn't want to stop reading. I didn't like by were sometimes they didn't talk about when the dogs killed the coons and how they treed them. They would sometimes leave you think what would happen next or what could of happen.

5-0 out of 5 stars Geez!
I adore this book. I wrote a reviw on what I think of it a while ago, so you could find it later. But I'm sick of all these people saing there was no action or adventure. What's up with that? And to the people who say there are lost of grammer mistakes in the book, you should check your grammer.

4-0 out of 5 stars a spectacular book
The book I read was "Where the Red Fern Grows".This story takes place in the state of oaklahoma.Thers a boy named Billy and he lives with his family.All Billy wanted was two hound dogs.One day Billy went to his grandfarthers store and his grandfarther told Billy he had to meet God half way.Billy worked til he had 25.00$.Billy got two hound dogs.He decided he name them Dan and Little Ann.Billy hunted all he could and he sold the skins for money.If you want to know the rest read this spectacular book your self. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Great First Reader
The words are basic and simple so they are easily accessible to the early reader.And, of course, kids have always liked the drawings in this book.This was a favorite of mine as a child and it is one of the first books my son read on his own.He now enjoys reading it to his brothers.

Alexandra Day's modern classic Read more

Reviews (50)

3-0 out of 5 stars Good and bad
As the owner of a dog which is part Rottie, I was happy to see a story about a good Rottweiler.And Carl is a charming and sweet dog.The drawings in this line of books are beautiful and details, and have a certain Norman Rockwell quality to them. As has been stated this is a book with pictures only which lets your little one (or you) make up the words, which can be lots of fun.BUT, I too am troubled by a story where the mom leaves the baby alone with the dog for what seems like a looong time, with the instructions for the dog to watch the baby while she is out.And, in the process the baby gets but into all kinds of dangerous situations (dropped down the laundry chute, bathed in the fish tank, etc).I just don't know if little kids will be able to understand that those things don't happen "in real life".

5-0 out of 5 stars Good Dog Carl is Great
Alexandra Day is a gifted artist and clever and funny story teller. I laughed out loud at the escapades of Baby and Carl the dog. We're read all of her books and I highly recommend them.

5-0 out of 5 stars Cute story

Editorial Review

Emily Elizabeth has a big red dog--the biggest, reddest dog on her street, and his name is Clifford. How big is he? He's so big that when he runs after cars, he catches them in his mouth, and his doghouse is bigger than Emily Elizabeth's house. Needless to say, he makes an excellent watchdog. Children love the idea of the things you could do and the fun you could have with a giant dog, and Norman Bridwell's delightful, Clifford-proof board-book edition will not disappoint. Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars Clifford
I ordered this book for my 21 month old because she loves to watch Clifford the Big Red Dog on TV and she loves books.She really doesnt pick this book as much as I thought she would.I think because its not really illustrated too good and the people are different than on the TV show.

5-0 out of 5 stars A favorite in our house!
Our son loves this book!The illustrations are simple and clear.The text is cute and easy for small children to follow.I highly recommend this book for small children.

I have read this to pre-schoolers and they just love the illustrations. The sites of New York City come alive in this book.You'll fall in love with Maxi when you read this story and be asking for more.

5-0 out of 5 stars How To Get a Second Grade Boy to Read For Pleasure
Second grade boys are tough critics but I've yet to find one who didn't like "The Adventures of Taxi Dog".The story, told in rhyme, is sensitive and funny. The pictures are colorful and ripe withdetails.Thededication is special and should not be skipped if you are reading this one out loud.

5-0 out of 5 stars There is a home for every creature
I read this book to my son when he was 5 yrs old as part of the scholastic book order through his school. My son is now going to be graduating from high school and he still has the book. However, it has seen better days since it is in paperback! The first time I read this book to him, believe it or not, I got choked up. The illustrations and the story itself are outstanding. He treasures this book as a very happy childhood memory. I've decided as part of his graduation present that I would get the brand new hard cover so that he may always cherish it and read it to his own kids some day. :o) ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars It's a dog...it's a book!?!
This book is so creative.The basic premise is that the book is not ABOUT a dog... it IS a dog.The story revolves around how he got there.It is very "hands on" and engages the reader immediately.It would be a fantastic gift for a little animal lover who isn't able to have a pet of his/her own.This is one dog who is allowed where other pets can't go and after the initial cost, there is no feeding or clean-up!What more could you want in a pet?

5-0 out of 5 stars Open Me... I'm A Dog
Delightful book! The tactile features, coupled with the story, make this one of the most-special children's books -- that's also appropriate to give any adult dog lover or fan of Spiegelman!

5-0 out of 5 stars People with Allergies Will Love This Dog
This is a pet dog that doesn't make you sneeze or itch. It doesn't shed or have fleas. Best of all, it doesn't bite or do its business on the carpet. Parents can gladly get this pet for children. Of course, this book would never take the place of a real thing, but it's a pleasure to read it. I can read it repeatedly (as children always want you to do) and not get tired of it. A parent can't help but get into character while reading the book aloud.

I've read this to my six-year-old since he was a five-year-old - he doesn't get tired of it, and mercifully, neither do I.The idea of a hero who uses _painting_ instead of punches to win the day is so cool it makes me wish I'd written it.5-0 out of 5 stars Who is Art Dog?

Choosing a friend can be very difficult, and recent experience tells me that maintaining a friendship can be even more so. Prolific author/illustrator Cynthia Rylant addresses the "choosing" aspect of friendships in this humorous book about a bookstore owner and her dog, "Martha Jane."

The dog Martha Jane is loved so much by everyone who comes to the bookshop where she lives,especially her owner.Soon her owner gets sick and needs a dog sitter.Everyone wants to watch Martha Jane.Who will she choose?I would recommend this book to 3-7 year olds who want to know who will be chosen to watch Martha Jane.

Editorial Review

Sounder is no beauty. But as a coon dog, this loyal mongrel with his cavernous bark is unmatched. When the African American sharecropper who has raised Sounder from a pup is hauled off to jail for stealing a hog, his family must suffer their humiliation and crushing loss with no recourse. To make matters worse, in the fracas, Sounder is shot and disappears. The eventual return of a tattered and emaciated Sounder doesn't change the fact that the sharecropper's oldest son is forced to take on man's work to help support the family. His transition to adulthood is paved by the rocks and taunts hurled at him by convicts and guards as he searches for his father. But along this rough road he ultimately finds salvation as well.Read more

Hi my name is John and I really liked this book.It is 'bout a boy and a dog.There was a sad.....part....I guess.....anyway the boy's dad anddog died in the end, but in the middle the dad stole a ham to feed the family ,and was caught, and put in prison to work in a mine.When the dad came home he had only one leg.I'll stop right there and let you find out the rest on your own.

1-0 out of 5 stars How can people possibley like this book?!?
I was looking forward to reading this book. It's supposed to be really good, and I'm only read a few books that I don't like. I can read almost anything, but this is the exception. Sounder was horrible and boring. It just dragged on and on and on, with no excitement. Yes, I know what the point is of writing the book, and I think, if it was better written with a better story, it would be a fine book. But it's not, so don't read it. It's a waste of time.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!!!!!!!!!!!
This book is really touching.Through all the hardships the family goes through they still survive.I love this book because it teaches me about an aspect of life that you can never give up no matter what.I think this book is good for all ages.It shows true love for an animal and shows that they are human beings too eventhough dogs are an animal they are your own which is why I cried when he ran away ...

Just in case you're new to this whacked-out series, the San Francisco-based team of Seibold and Walsh open with a few relevant facts in a opening page right out of Disney's Toon Town, or Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland." (The page, like much of the book features about a dozen flat colors, optical effects, and a font called "arbitrary bold."Here's the opener:

I love the illustration style - however, the story of this book is overly long and really not so interesting.My son won't stay by my side to listen to me read all the text in the book; I have to edit the book myself for him to be interested at all.I think the Seibolds' have produced better books (like the Olive stories, or the first Mr. Lunck book) and would reccommend those before FREE LUNCH.

What a surprisingly great book! We chose Queenie, One of the Family on site from the library because of its whimsical illustrations. Now, after reading it to our three year old, again and again, we're constantly surprised by the new things we discover together. Now a family favorite,it's a thoroughly engaging book: the detailed illustrations are a delightfor children as well as adults and provide a starting point for endlessdiscussion. The text is easy to follow, thoughtful and melds seamlesslywith the pictures. The book as a whole is funny and charming. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Very well-written and not dumbed-down!
I have to disagree with a former reviewer...I was quite surprised to see the negativity about this book.I think my standards for quality writing are pretty high...I will not read twaddle to my kids!Also when I read it I remarked to myself that wow, a book written (re)written in the 1990s and not politically-correct, as I hate those types of books, for example modern Nancy Drew books... Someone once said (and I forget who), "80% of the books were written after 1971 and 80% of those should have been left trees."If I have the date wrong, someone can correct me, but that is the date I would use if I were talking about poorly written books.5-0 out of 5 stars Most Amazing Book Ever
I give this book five stars because it is very fun and it teaches me vocabulary. This book is fun because this dog has to travel far from his family and has many fun adventures. It teaches us vocabulary by using them in a sentence.

1-0 out of 5 stars dumbed-down w/ misleading title & beautiful illustrations
The beautiful illustrations can't make up for the bland, dumbed-down text of this rip-off.The title seems to be a deliberate attempt to mislead the buyer into thinking they are getting Eric Knight's wonderful story.Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars The Kids Love This Book
When I was a working librarian, I read this books (and the others)to my storytimes. When I retired I started to volunteer in an inner city school. I was not certain how the children would react to the book. I am now in my sixth year reading to Preschool, Kindergarten and First Grade. They hear the first four books each year and they always ask me to repeat the books. The line about "no one had ever asked him to come in" always gets a great response. I think everyone should read these McDuff books. So many classes can't be wrong!

3-0 out of 5 stars Doesn't take a bite out of crime.Just out of shortbread.
Dear old Rosemary Wells.If you've ever read her books about that famous bunny Max or classic titles like, "Morris' Disappearing Bag" then you know that her stories, while disjointed, can often be truly charming works of preschool art.So when I discovered the McDuff books (written by her but illustrated by someone else entirely) I was ill at ease.I mean, Wells draws such cute little bunnies.How could anyone else adapt to her words?On reading the first book of the McDuff series, "McDuff Moves In", I was amazed to find myself suddenly on the oposte side of the fence.The pictures in this book are really quite charming.From the cute little Scottie named McDuff to the 1950s setting, visually this story's a charmer.But strange as it may seem, Wells's words are out-of-place here.Though a brief tale with little in the way of plot, somehow this book is not as direct or understandable as it might be.A pity.
5-0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!
I own this book, as well as others in the series. They are just great! My mom owns a Westie, perfectly named Duffy(he got the name before we new about the books), and the illustrator captures the essence of the Westie. Every picture is perfectly drawn to show the character of a Westie. I love the author as well. I have been a teacher and have always read Ms. Wells' books to my students and the McDuff series is loved by all. McDuff moves in is just a fun book to read and I recommend it to all ages. ...

Editorial Review

When 11-year-old Marty Preston chances upon a mistreated beagle pup in his hometown of Friendly, West Virginia, he is not prepared for the ethical questions he has to face. Should he return the dog to its owner, only to have the animal abused again? Should he tell his parents? Should he steal food to help the poor creature? Marty's efforts to cope with these questions provides the moral backbone for this story, which is presented in a language and manner that will be understood by third- and fourth-grade readers. The heart and beauty of this 1992 Newbery Medal winner lies in lessons children will take away with them. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Well Deserved Newbery Winner,But Some Reservations
Shiloh is the winner of the 1992 Newbery Medal, and it tells the story of Marty Preston, an 11-year-old boy, and his efforts to rescue a mistreated beagle, Shiloh. Though Marty believes Shiloh came to him for help, his father makes it clear that he must not interfere in their neighbor's business, even if that neighbor is Judd Travers, a thoroughly unlikable man who abuses his dogs. When Shiloh comes to him a second time though, Marty has to choose between his love for Shiloh or obedience to his father. Though I had to do some minor editing while reading aloud to my preschool-aged children, this is a very engaging story full of struggle, devotion, and suspense that had my son (and hubby) begging for more.Naylor expertly reeled us in from the first chapter as we got wrapped up in Marty's concern for Shiloh and she kept us expectantly turning the pages to find out what would happen next.

Eleven-year-old Marty lives with his parents and two younger sisters just above Friendly, West Virginia. Marty finds a dog and he is convinced that the dog is abused by its owner. He wants to keep Shiloh, but he has to strike a deal with Shiloh's owner, Judd Travers.

Shiloh is one of the first books that I read and finished. Before reading it, I didn't really like to read. But after reading it, I wanted the rest of the series because I just had to know what happend next.
