Customer Reviews

McGrowl is kinda awesome!

I think you should read McGrowl because it is very exciting. It has lots of interesting things going on in the story. There is lots of action and fun in the story. In one part, McGrowl gets captured, and if you want to find out what happens next, read the book! I liked this book because I like adventures and dogs. It made me feel sad when he got captured, but happy in other parts of the book.

Mcgrowl has lots of adventures

If you like dogs I would recommend the book, McGrowl, Beware of Dog to read. There are two main characters in this book, Violet Schnayerson and Thomas Wiggins. Violet and Thomas find a dog and they take it to the vet for the night. They come back to get the dog in the morning. Thomas, whos father is scared of dogs, takes the dog home to his house. BEWARE of what happens next! If you want to know what happens next read this book. This book takes place in a small neighborhood during the morning. The two kids don't know what there in for. I love this book because I love dogs and adventures!

Great Story for a good readers

I think this book is a very nice transitional book from simple chapter books into more complex books. My 8-yr old daughter, who is a very good reader, did expand her vocabulary the use of bigger and more complex words. If you love dog stories, you'll like this one too.

BEST BOOK

i spent 3 weeks looking for a book to get for the first few weeks of school,then my freind told me about mcgrowl and since i love dogs i read it and then i read it a second time a third time and a forth time,and i could not put it down for a second i even dreamed about it if your looking for a good book read MCGROWL

Terrific book for kids!

Just when I thought the only books I could get my 9-year-old son to read were books which had him running into our room in the middle of the night with nightmares...here's comes McGrowl, the Bionic Dog! My son laughed out loud when he read it, then gave it to me and my husband to read. It's fun and I guess you could even say witty, with just enough adventure to keep my son turning pages. It's the kind of book you won't mind reading along with your kid. I can't wait for the next McGrowl book and neither can my son!
