Customer Reviews

One of our family's favorite picture books

Our younger daughter picked this one above all for one of us to read aloud to her first grade class. The silly verse("There once was a dog who was a bit of a clot, he'd buried his bone and forgotten the spot") and the outrageously detailed Korky Paul illustrations are a delight (somewhat like those of Steven Kellogg, kids find something new every reading). A subterranean search by the persistent pup leads through a labyrinth of obstacles with pesky cats at every turn. Highly recommended.

The dog that dug

Very silly illustrations of the dog that keeps pulling out even more outrageous things from the ground. There are extra details in Korky Paul's illustrations that keep you looking at the pictures over and over again. Of all Korky Paul's books I think this is my favorite.
