"Life lessons? Romance? Literary instruction? Go, Dog. Go! offers all this and more, wrapped up in one simply worded, warmly hued package. Using single-syllable words in rhythmic repetition, and introducing colors and prepositions, this Seuss-styled classic has been an early favorite of children since 1961. For those looking for deeper meaning in a beginning reader book, here you'll find nothing less than a microcosm of life. Green dogs, yellow dogs, big dogs, little dogs. Dogs who prefer cars, dogs who favor skis. All represent the diversity a child will find in the world. And the slow-to-bud romance between the cheerfully oblivious yellow dog and the mincing pink poodle explains more succinctly than most self-help books what goes on in many grown-up relationships. Nonetheless, Eastman takes the concept of "primary" to heart, with his simple silly phrases and solidly colored illustrations. Not only will this book inspire peals of laughter in kids, it will also help them make the magical connection between those mysterious black squiggles on the page, and the words they hear and speak"
"Eastman, P.D. (1961). Go dog go. New York: Random House. Summary: This book is about dogs and they are doing all sorts of different activities. They are racing cars, playing sports, riding rollercoasters, and climbing a tree. This book is full of opposites and colors. It would be great for preschoolers and was one of my favorites when I was a preschooler. I remember having this book memorized and reading it all the time. I think it is good to use with that age group because it is simple enough for them to catch on and memorize. It is also good to use with opposites and colors."
"Go Dog Go is an easy reader portraying many kinds of dogs engaged in various activities. It introduces opposites and adjectives, as well as many human activities such as riding carnival rides, following traffic rules, sleeping, waking, working, and playing. These are all presented in brief scenes, with two main interwoven plots -- dogs driving to a dog party, and a male and female dog who become friends by the end of the story. The brief scenes make the book a good fit for toddlers with short attention spans, and beginning readers, for whom the task of reading can be arduous.
The words are simple, but Eastman creates funny and imaginative scenarios through repetition and appealing drawings. The book was published before sophisticated printing techniques were available, and its charm is enhanced by its simplicity. It does, however, get old for adults around the tenth read-aloud."
"Let's just have this book represent not only all of the Dr. Suess-level books that were read throughout my earliest of childhood but also the dedication my father showed me, from the time I could open my eyes, going through flashcards with me, reading silly books like these with me, to the point where I knew each and every word by heart and wouldn't hesitate to call him out on a missed passage -- granted, it was simply becuase of the pictures and the repetition, not that I was reading -- so let's just place this at the beginning of the timeline of books to represent this whole era of reading... how would I be critiquing Empire Falls, adding a 9th Steinbeck, mowing through McCarthy's, telling everyone on earth to read Franny and Zooey, or teaching 1984 if this era would have been different?"
