Dog Lovers

This is one funny story and yet sentimental at the same time. Mad Dog McGraw seems to be living up to his name, pretty frightening to the kid down the block. No matter how he tries to avoid Mad Dog, he seems to be everywhere. Mom comes to the rescue with a great idea to help the 2 of them "live happily ever after". The pictures portray Mad Dog in exactly the right light! But you can't help loving a dog like that when you see him smile.

Myron Uhlberg is an awsome children's author

Mad Dog McGraw is wonderfully written and illustrated. Our Grandchildren require that it be read several times in an evening. The message contained in the book is not lost on a three year old who is enthralled with the change in the main character as well as the little boy. She has come to understand it and relates it to things which come up in her daily life.

GREAT BOOK!

We checked this book out from the library and we now have to buy it because it became one of our 20 month old sons favorite books. He loves looking at the wonderful illustrations as I read the story to him.

Mad Dog McGraw

I agree with my children that this book is simply adorable! My four-year-old thinks the main character has some "great ideas" in dealing with his dilemma while my two-year-old wants his own mad dog! It is a very funny book and the goofy illustrations add to the humor. In addition, there is a very good lesson for the children (and me!) regarding relationships with others.
