Written over 50 years ago and edited by Dr. Seuss himself, this funny, doggy book makes a great gift for birthdays and other human celebrations, and will prove to you and your child that reading has not gone to the dogs!

Dogs in all shapes, sizes, and colors - black, white, yellow, green, blue, pink and red—star in this wonderfully goofy book. Floppy-eared canines zooming around in cars, riding a Ferris wheel, and generally having a marvelous time illustrate simple concepts in single and two-page vignettes. Recurring through the book is a disagreement about hats - a disagreement that is finally resolved at the great dog party high in the top of a tree.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher
"The canine cartoons make an elementary text funny and coherent and still one of the best around."--School Library Journal.  
Children's Literature - Phyllis Kennemer
This 50th Anniversary Edition brings back a beloved beginning reader for another generation to enjoy. Beginning with a single word, "Dog" and gradually adding 74 additional words, the text encourages children to increase their reading vocabulary. There is no plot, but plenty of action, as dogs are shown driving cars, riding roller coasters, rowing boats, swimming, riding a Ferris wheel, playing baseball, and skiing. A yellow dog is critical of a pink dog's hat in several scenes. There is a happy resolution in the end when a whole lot of dogs gather at the top of a big tree for a boisterous party. The concept of antonyms occurs throughout: "The green dog is up. The yellow dog is down." "A dog over the water. A dog under the water." The traffic light changes from green to red to green as the dogs go and stop and go. The comical illustrations add to the fun. Reviewer: Phyllis Kennemer, Ph.D.

    A compelling and disturbing look at the canine psyche

    I have just finished reading the heartwarming novel, Go, Dog. Go! I found it a compelling and disturbing look at the canine psyche. If I may be permitted to quote a passage from the book. ¿Big Dog.¿ ¿Little Dog¿. ¿A red dog on a ¿¿ Well anyway, I don¿t want to give away the ending, but I will say that spirals towards on an incredible twist-turn that parallels my own life!

    Not the original book. Many pages are cut out. There is nothing about "Do you like my hat." If you want the board book (with all of the punch gone), get this, if you want the original, THIS IS NOT IT!

    NOT THE ORIGINAL. A LOT IS MISSING

    Can't download to IPad

    Unfortunately, this book cannot be downloaded to the nook app on the Ipad. Sad that I spent 13.99 on something I can't use. I wish they would make it clear which books are compatible with the Ipad Nook app.

    One of the best of all time!

    Go Dog, Go! is a staple from my childhood and now my 15-month old twin daughers are in love with it. It is smart and fun.

    An Absolute Classic!

    Out of all the books my parents read to me as a kid, this is the one that stands out in my mind the most. It was, and still is, my favorite children's story. I love the dispute over the different hats of the colored dogs. I'm in college now, but I still enjoy reading this timeless book.

    Expensive!!!

    This book is an all time children's classic. So why is it $14 ? I mean seriously it's an awesome book to teach your kid to read but I don' t want to spend that much money on that. In my opinion all childrens books should be freeon the nook color that is. Its probally so expensive because on all the commercials for the nook color,Go Dog Go is on the nooks shelf. Great book though I would at least though have it be $2 .
