Motordog by Kurt Cyrus-ADVISABLE

Cyrus, Kurt. Ill. by David Gordon, Motordog. Disney Hyperion, 2014. $16.99. PICTURE BOOK.

 When Flip the Kid buys a robot dog, he ends up getting more than he bargained for. When Motordog sees a cat, he drags Flip the Kid on a wild cat chase. Can there be such a thing as too much dog?

A funny, colorfully illustrated picture book. The text is catchy and is complemented well by the pictures. The various sounds naturally draw the reader into the story. A great read aloud for young children and their parents or teacher. PreK, EL (K-3). ADVISABLE. Reviewer: Jessica Moody, Library Media Specialist, Olympus Jr. High.
