Bought this book when my first born was about 1 1/2 years old. Until then she would not sit and listen to stories. She (and I) fell in love with "Oh Where Oh Where...". She is now five and still will pull it off the bookshelf often. Now her two younger siblings are joining the fun of singing the story. We have a whole collection of Iza Trapani books but this is still our favorite.

This book is similar to "I'm a Little Teapot" in that the story follows a runaway dog through zany adventures through sightseeing in New York City, mountain climbing (my daughter laughs hard on this one), surfing the ocean, exploring the desert, being in a rodeo (love the cowboy boots on each of his four feet--lol!), and examining a cave.

The reader sings the story (twelve stanzas) using the familiar tune of the book's title. My daughter loves this and all Iza Trapani books for the colorful, funny illustrations as well hearing the songs. Singing books are entertaining and educational, teaching your child valuable listening skills and understanding pitch. My daughter sings right on key and has a good sense of rhythm and I believe Iza's books have greatly helped her achieve this. Thanks, Iza! How about a kitty book? Takeaway value: There's no place like home.
Soar!

Absolutely wonderful book! Perfect for children! I am currently in the field of early childhood education and my children loved it! You can use this as a sing-along story. Wonderfully age appropriate for preschoolers. GREAT book!

These books are great, especially if you enjoy singing to your children. The only one I like better is Hey Diddle diddle :) Great fun!
