Go,Dog. Go
At my mom’s house earlier this summer, we found Go, Dog. Go! hanging out in the basement. It brought back an INP (instant nostalgia picture or prose). As a kid, I remember loving the intricate picture of dogs having a party atop a tree. It was so magical.
The book is a work of great genius. Obviously, it is meant to teach children words like under, over, on, in, etc., but it also conjures up mystery, adventure, and delight in the most simple of ways. These dogs are doing super fun things like hanging out in hammocks, mazes, roller-coasters, rooftops, crazily pointy ski mountains, and giant beds. I’m sure your toddler will want to crawl right into that bed with 21 sleeping dogs (though as Mirette has noticed—one of the dogs is wide awake!).
The part we’ve been having the most fun with is the guy dog and girl dog that meet at various times throughout the book.
“Hello again,” she says.
“Hello,” he replies.
“Do you like my hat?” she asks.
“I do not like it.”
“Good bye again.“
“Good bye.“
We often randomly ask – donning a thick English accent for some reason – do you like my hat, my bracelet, my hair, my nose? And someone will reply, "I do not (in same English accent)." This makes for great dinner conversation and Mirette continuously finds it hilarious.
