review 1: I love children's picture books. They are invaluable to the process of children learning to read and to love books. The pictures in a good picture book entertain, engage, and enlighten. In Hickory Dickory Dog, the author/illustrator utilizes the well-known nursery rhyme Hickory Dickory Dock to convey the relationship between a boy and his dog.Dogs simply don't go to school (at least, people school), but Zack and Rufus do and their activities are charming and so much fun. Each page shows us a delight. Allison Murray brings rhyme and art to a delightful level of joy for the young child to enjoy. This book is for the very young to grade 2 child. I recommend you either borrow a copy from your local library (ask them to acquire it if it is not in the library's collection) or ... morepurchase one for lots of reading to that special child in your life.DISCLOSURE: A complimentary copy was provided by Candlewick Press in exchange for my honest review.

review 2: The classic children's nursery rhyme is reimagined with a boy and his dog as the subjects. Rhyming text is delicious for reading aloud. Digital illustrations are bright, expressive, and showcase an incredibly cute pup who gets filthier with each page spread. This book is everything I had hoped it would be and more! Love all of this author's previous picture book work and can't wait to see what's next! PreK-2. less
