Apollo [Hardcover]

Caroline Gregoire (Author)

Book Description

Age Level: 4 and up

Often-overlooked concepts will never be the same. Apollo is not just any old dog - he's a Super Dog! He can divide himself into halves, he can be on the right and the left, above and below, by himself, or in a crowd.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...full of amusing, simple images of the dachshund Apollo from various angles...and in various proportions." -- The Horn Book, January 1, 2003

"Shown in parts, his comical appearance adds up to some amusing and memorable lessons in math concepts for preschoolers." -- The Boston Herald, January 2002

From the Publisher

Amazing, appealing, silly, educational...what more could you ask for from a dog? Or a book? Double-page spreads and limited text make these beginning concepts fun to learn and easy to understand.

4.0 out of 5 stars What A Wiener!, February 28, 2002

This review is from: Apollo (Hardcover)

Apollo is no ordinary dachshund. He is, we learn (and excuse me for giving away a major plot point) Super Dog. Surely few others of his breed can perform tricks vertically, horizontally and diagonally while remaining adorable from every angle.

Apollo (both the book and the dog) are oversized along the horizontal axis, the better to work their charms on us. And those charms are considerable, in the spare words and the witty paintings.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This review is from: Apollo (Paperback)

I bought this for my 3 year old, who has an extremely short attention span. He doesn't like many books, especially those without flaps, moving parts, etc....but he loves his Apollo book! I'm not sure he's absorbing all the great information contained (over, under, whole, pieces, half, and so on), but he has great fun seeing all the crazy positions Apollo gets into.
