Rating: 9 gargoyle pic Gargoyles

The delightful and curious Bow-Wow is back and tackling opposites. Youngsters will learn about opposites as they follow Bow-Wow as he chases a cat throughout the story. A bare modicum of words allows children (and adults) to use their imagination and expound on the illustrations. The illustrations are colorful, simple and entertaining.

Personally, I adore the Bow-Wow series and enjoy reading them with my youngest. We have shared many a storytime giggling at Bow-Wow's antics. Enchanting, memorable fun for young and old.

Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug

Author: Mark Newgarden and Megan Montague Cash
Illustrator: Megan Montague Cash
Publisher: Harcourt, Inc
Available At: Bookstores Everywhere
Publishing Date: June 2007
Genre: Children: Picture/Storybook
Format: Hardback
Price: $12.95
ISBN-10: 0152058133
ISBN-13: 978-0-15-205813-5
Author Email/Website: www.bow-wowbooks.com
Reviewer: Safiya Tremayne
Rating: 9 gargoyle pic Gargoyles

In this amazingly charming tale, Bow-Wow discovers a bug on his body and follows said bug after it jumps off him. The ensuing journey will have readers, young and old, smiling and laughing. From a female dog with a bug of her own, to a giant dog and giant bugs, the adventure is endless.

Part of Bow-Wow's appeal is the lack of words. While the pictures tell a story, the lack of a set story encourages children to tell the story in their own words, allowing for a myriad of interpretations. Bow-Wow Bugs a Bug entertains and fosters imagination and creativity making it a keeper for this reviewer and her family!
