Editorial Review: 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.
With nary a word, Mark Newgarden and Megan Montague Cash have created a story about a bold new doggy who goes where no doggy has gone before. With a spring in his step and his tail only occasionally between his legs, Bow-Wow faces down every foe--well, almost every foe--in his path.
Step aside, mutts. There's a new dog in town.

I absolutely LOVE this book!!! , 2008-04-17
When I first saw this book, I thought, "Oh, my gosh! A dog finding a bug! Bore snore!" But as I really got into the plot of the story, I began to realize,"Wow, I can totally picture words to this story! It's creative! It's funny! It's amazing!" A lot of thought and care went into this book. I think this book is a great way for anyone to discover the art of imagination! -J age 10
This book is alluring in its elegant simplicity. It asks so much of the reader and gives even more back. What a wonderful way to entice a pre-reader or early reader into the joy of books. The experience of reading Bow Wow with a toddler, preschooler, or young school-aged child is an adventure of shared thoughts and smiles, intimate conversation in which the child and adult learn anew about themselves and each other. This is the kind of book, like Sandra Boynton's and Margaret Wise Brown's,that sparks delightful cuddle-time chat about the surreal,absurd predicaments of everyday life. This is a book that inspires budding readers to cherish books. For adults weary of eating broken alphabet cookies and reading crapified television advertising masquerading as storybooks,for adults who sometimes struggle with reading,this book will be a cool drink of water. -a Mom

Bow Wow is Brilliant, 2008-04-11
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!

Bow-Wow WOW!!!!, 2008-01-06
My sister sent all three of the Bow-Wow books to my 4-y-o daughter. She LOVES them all. She's in that stage where she will look at the pictures in a book & make up her own story to "read" to us. These books are so expressive & creative! There is enough silliness & fun without being ridiculous. Some authors miss that target by a long shot. But not these two! What a great team!!! Keep up the good work!!!
