Go, Dog. Go! (P.D. Eastman, 1961)



Logline:

Extremely active dogs participate in opposite-driven actions including playing, running, jumping, driving and, of course, partying.

London:

Every night when I was one through five my dad used to read this book to me. In the party part, my eyes used to get really big.

Ben:

(And don't forget, London, about the dog with a hat that you always used to ask "What is that?!" Like it was the first time I was ever telling someone about a dog with a hat: "A dog with a hat," I'd say.) I all but had this one memorized at one point in time. We read it - literally - every night. I can't express the joy and fondness I recall in having the opportunity to read this to such a delighted little audience.

What it would be like to be in this book:

London said she would drive faster than all of the other cars. Ben wouldn't get up when the lead dog said "Time to get up!" (He'd slink under the bed and continue to snooze.)
