Editorial Reviews

Review

The third in Pilkey's "Big Dog and Little Dog" board book series for toddlers finds the pups home alone, gasp. The friends who do everything together also get in trouble together and their simple adventures should amuse little ones. The book features a heavy cardboard format, few pages, basic story, and minimal cartoon-like illustrations. The plastic coated pages make the book perfect for the sticky fingers crowd to drag around. Also in the series, Big Dog and Little Dog Going for a Walk. (Children's Literature )

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent book, raising questions on the nature of justice., October 1, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Big Dog and Little Dog Getting in Trouble: Big Dog and Little Dog Board Books (Board book)

Big Dog and Little Dog are very lovable, but bad, in the only children's book I know that comes right out and says what all children know--being bad is fun, at least until it's time to pay. This book also may serve as a foundation on which to engage a child on the nature of justice. In particular, is it fair that Big Dog, after creating a big mess, gets in big trouble, while Little Dog, who created only a little mess, also gets in big trouble? Should there not be a principle of proportionality in the imposition of penalties?

I got the whole set for my 30 year old sister who fell in love with the story. The language is simple and very funny. A great buy for dog lovers with a sense of humor.

My daughter, almost 2, loves this book. It makes her and my husband laugh especially when they are both in big trouble. Very cute and easy to read and understand especially at this age where simple is better.
