When the box marked "Fragile" is opened and a lively, exuberant dog
races out, the small boy who is to be his owner greets the bundle
with the resolute words, "Go away, you bad old dog. Go away from
me. I don't like you dog." Undaunted, the tail-thumper follows the
boy, who tries to get rid of dog by throwing sticks and playing.
But dog is like glue, and in the end boy relents, and goes home
overjoyed with his new companion. Crosby Bonsall, the fine
illustrator of August Explains (1963, p. 355, J-121), here
approaches the world of a child and a hairy white dog with
refreshing humor. The result-illustrations which are bursting with
warm vitality. Beginning readers will be enchanted by these
drawings and by the text which has caught the tone and tempo of a
child's speech. And, they may well say "Out Spot, Dick and Jane" in
favor of the more alive boy and his furry pet. Easy reading books
like this are a needed oasis in a comparatively dry, set area.
