Reviews
PreSchool-Grade 2-This oversized, simple encyclopedia has great breadth but no depth. The Big Red Dog guides young readers through myriad subjects from pet care to volcanoes to the human body. Each theme is presented in a double-page spread illustrated with Bridwell's familiar, colorful cartoons. The busy layout contains many small, labeled pictures that add to the scant information offered. The text is short and sometimes simplistic. A paragraph about the heart mentions that "The doctor uses a stethoscope to listen to your heartbeat." Yet, no picture or further explanation about a stethoscope is offered. Words printed in bold type are sprinkled throughout the text; while they do relate to the section's main idea, there is no glossary or definition for them and it is unclear why they are highlighted. Also, including Clifford in some of the subjects seems unnatural. The section on animal homes shows a deer thicket, a squirrel nest, a beaver lodge, a skunk den, and Clifford in his doghouse. Except for the oversized pup, all of the animals built their homes. Nevertheless, this offering will be popular simply because of the main character.
