Book Description

Publication Date: March 18, 2002 | Age Level: 4 and up | Grade Level: P and up | Series: Pinkerton

Pinkerton's young owner has to identify different birds and mammals for homework. So, she and her mother set off for the woods with Pinkerton and Rose. There they run into a group from the Hunting Academy, out in search of the noble fox. The craziness begins when the hunters mistake Rose for a fox, and charge after her. And where is Pinkerton? He is making friends with a red bird while drifting overhead in a hot air balloon.

"Pinkerton's return can be welcomed with brio . . . filled with the kind of humor that allows tots to chuckle with glee and older picture book readers to guffaw through the antics . . . Bravo, Kellogg!" (Booklist, starred review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Tally Ho Pinkerton is terrific!!, December 6, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Tallyho, Pinkerton! (Hardcover)

My family first learned of "Pinkerton the big, clumsy Great Dane dog", while standing in line to sign up on a waiting list for another children's book title by Mr. Kellogg at our public library...we were enthusiastically informed by the younger folks in line that "Pinkerton rules!" So we put our names in for the same book also. We eventually loved reading it together so much, that we bought the hard cover copy for our home. Now that we have our first grandchild, we can start another generation on "Pinkerton Mania"!! Of all the Pinkerton books, and we love them all...this one is our favorite!

I gave this to my 3 year old grandson for his birthday. I liked the book, but think that it would have been more suitable for him if he was 4 or older.
