Murray, Alison Hickory Dickory Dog. PICTURE BOOK. Candlewick Press, 2012. $16.99. Content: G.
Using elements of "Hickory, Dickory, Dock" this picture book shows a dog who loves his boy so much that he refuses to stay home. Trotting past the school's "No Dogs Allowed" sign, Rufus joins the boy for a day of learning.
This cute story is fun to read aloud. The pictures and font are charmingly retro, befitting the book's nod to an old-fashioned nursery rhyme. Observant readers will notice humorous details such as the dog becoming progressively dirtier with each activity he accompanies the boy in doing.
