ANGUS AND THE DUCKS

[Editor's Note: This is a combined review of ART DOG, HARRY THE DIRTY DOG, and OFFICER BUCKLE AND GLORIA] A dog is man's best friend. If that is true, then imagine the level of friendship children share with canines. This four read-alongs is sure to please every kid who loves dogs. Large-headed Angus calls the garden his domain, just like most pets. A leash keeps his outdoor curiosity tethered until the day he escapes to chase the ducks he hears making a ruckus. Despite unnatural and unappealing quacks of the ducks, Angus's woofing and lively piano music punctuate a well-paced and inviting narration of ANGUS AND THE DUCKS.
