ART DOG

A dog--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. Part mystery, part parody, ART DOG will especially tickle kids who know a bit of art history. Arthur Dog guards famous paintings by Vincent Van Dog and Leonardo Dog Vinci at the Dogopolis Museum of Art by day. By night, he transforms into Art Dog and saves the day when the Mona Whoofa is stolen. Funky jazz, realistic sound effects of street scenes and museum openings, and the exaggerated strokes of brushes enhance the mystery and the appeal.
