Rating: 9 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.

Rating: 9 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!
