review 1: My five-year-old son picked this book out from the library this week. He picked it out for the outrageously wonderful cover art. I would have picked it out for the title alone. So, apart from the title and the cover art, there is some poetry for children done very well and some illustrative work that is every bit as perfect as the cover art. Actual rating: 4.5 stars, because the story itself could have been a dawg-hair more interesting, but I round-up. ;)
review 2: There are tons of dirty fun in Cowpoke Clyde and Dirty Dawg. Cowpoke Clyde likes a clean home and has just gotten his spotless when he spies Dawg, all caked with mud. Clyde figures on a quick wash, but Dawg has other ideas and leads Clyde on an outrageous chase. Written is tight, fast-moving rhym... moree and just enough dialect to be entertaining but not distracting, this book will appeal to kids of all ages. Gorgeous, full-color illustrations done in acrylic and colored pencil highlight and expand on the text as Dawg goes running and sends soup, chickens, fleas, hogs, and a host of other things flying. One facet that many children will love are the cliffhangers left on several pages where the rhyme is not completed, allowing them to guess how to finish the rhyme, or chime in if they already know. The story includes a humorous and satisfying ending (complete with rubber ducky). This is a winner that kids will want to hear again and again. less
