Little Kids Love Big Dog and Little Dog!
6 Nov 2003
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This compilation of all the Big Dog and Little Dog stories is terrific! If you have children between the ages of 1 and 5 who like dogs, this is a sure-fire hit. There are few books that can hold the attention of both my 4 year old daughter and my 1 year old son, but Pilkey's book keeps both of them interested and laughing at the amusing and sweet antics of the two silly pets. The illustrations are adorable. The text is simple enough for toddlers to understand, but still interesting for pre-schoolers. My 4 year old is beginning to say the words along with me, which is good preparation for reading. The type-set is large enough that beginning readers could read this, so I intend to keep this book around for when my children start to read on their own. This compilation is a very good value, if you consider the price of buying the 5 Big Dog and Little Dog books separately. I highly recommend this as a holiday gift for any toddlers on your list.

Diamond Dogs! Pilkey's Humor for the Toddler Set
15 Mar 2005
By M. Allen Greenbaum
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
Dav Pilkey departs from his wonderfully silly and scatalogically inclined "Captain Underpants" books in the Big Dog and Little Dog series, but displays his usual clever humor in this colorful book for toddlers. It's a chapter book with five brief stories (similar to the "George and Martha" books), in which a very big dog a and very small dog share adventures, many of which get them in trouble with their owner. For example, they have nothing to play with, so they devour a couch; they mistake a skunk for a cat, and arrive home, all stinky, just in time to ruin a party; they play in the mud and spray the owner with mud and water (they take a bath, and "are clean and dry. Now they want to go for another walk").
The color pictures are bright and playful, and Pilkey has interesting compositions: The focus is always on the dogs-sometimes the owner is only partially shown. There is lots of action, and Pilkey uses solid backgrounds painted with acrylics as well as accent patterns to create interest and texture. The organization is superb as well; two simple two simple stories that show the two differently-sized dogs showing canine compassion and affection for each other bracket the three mischievous stories. These are warm and touching, and perhaps a message for young siblings that shared needs and feelings can overcome differences. As others have noted, Pilkey created his own font-"Big Dog," which is fun to look at, and yet another signature Pilkey touch. Highly recommended!

Don't Mess With the Big Dog (or the little dog either)
27 May 2004
By K. Roman
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
The Complete Adventures of Big Dog and Little Dog is 5 books in one! Simpler stories (think no Pilkey puns) than other Dav P. books, but just as much fun. Big Dog and Little Dog go for a muddy walk, are sprayed by a skunk, and rip up the sofa. The acrylic and India ink illustrations are straight forward, but clever. I especially like the font that Pilkey created for this book, which is appropriately called "Big Dog." Karen Woodworth-Roman
