If you're going to read the same book over & over & over again, it should be a great one like GO DOG GO! by P.D. Eastman. I think a young kid's book needs to have three elements: fun to read, educational, and good illustrations.This book hits it out of the park on all three.

The story is written with a cadence that is both rhythmic and catchy.The reader is shown a mix of colors, sizes, prepositions, and activities (running, driving, etc.).The 75 word vocabulary is a good foundation for the beginner reader.The illustrations support the story -- sometimes missed in other kid's books.

Warning:this book and its catchy "lyrics" will stick in your head like a 1950's pop song!

I loved this book as a kid, and now my kid's love it!

Go, dog, go, it's not too far! This is one of our nighttime favorites - we all yell the part, "Stop, dog, stop! The light is red." I would also have to highly recommend this book :)

LOL. Thanks for the warning. I am bad to get catchy things stuck in my head. I probably need to stay clear of this one =-) As it is, I keep singing the backyardigans songs all day long!
