Bow-Wow may look like your average terrier. The streets he walks may seem familiar. But just around the corner, things get a little unusual.

Step aside, mutts. There's a new dog in town.

I absolutely LOVE this book!!!:
When I first saw this book, I thought, "Oh, my gosh! A dog finding a bug! Bore snore!"

Bow Wow is Brilliant:
Newgarden's illustrations are brilliant. The book and story is filled with laugh-out-loud surprises and is a real a delight. Before giving it to our daughters, my husband and I reviewed it together and couldn't wait to catch up with Bow Wow's adventure as we turned the pages. I highly recommend this book for people of all ages!
great book once again:
Auntie H sent my girls this book...they love these wordless books. At age 2 and 4 who needs words? they love to tell the story...not frustrated at not being able to read....they clearly read along as the story unfolds. They feel confident and have the time of their lives...we all laugh outload!
