Summary: The Night I Followed the Dog
Review: "The Night I Followed the Dog" is a story about a boy who thinks he owns an average dog. Then one day he sees his dog early in the morning get out of a limosine. The next night, he follows his dog through town on his bike while the dog rode in the limo. He follows the dog into a building in a part of town he didn't know. There he finds a club filled with dogs where his dog is the leader. He stays with his dog for a while and parties before heading back home because it is late at night and past his bedtime.
I think that this is a very good book. The text is very interesting, being written in accordance with what it means. It keeps you guessing about what's going on until the end. It also does a good job at describing the characters.

Summary: The Night I followed the Dog
Review: A young boy always thought his dog was kind of boring. All he ever did was eat and sleep. He couldn't sing or change the TV channels like his neighbor's dog and he never won any medals at obedience school. But all that changed, the night he followed his dog. This boring old dog headed straight for his doghouse, changed into a tuxedo, ran down the street, jumped into a limousine and headed downtown to a nightclub called The Doghouse, a place where dogs can relax, have a few bowls of water and lie on the sofas. It's a place where dogs can be dogs..... Nina Laden has written a charming, funny story of a dog's night out that will delight youngsters with it's witty story line and expressive artwork. Her text, written in the first person, is printed to look like a kid's handwriting and is full of playful picture-like detail (roll-over is upside down, wagging is wiggly and wagging and eat has bites taken out of it) and her illustrations of canines nightclubbing, will have kids and adults alike, laughing out loud. This is a marvelously creative and imaginative picture book that is sure to take your youngsters on a hilarious adventure they shouldn't miss.

Summary: DISAPPOINTING
Review: ANOTHER BOOK W/ RAVE REVIEWS THAT I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. THE ILLUSTRATIONS ARE GREAT, THE STORY A CLEAVER IDEA, BUT OVERALL IT'S JUST SO-SO. NOT A BOOK TO RE-READ. INSTEAD, TRY TAXI DOG & HARRY THE DIRTY DOG.

Summary: A Fifteen Year Old Dog Lover
Review: I first read this book when I was, oo... six or seven. Anyway, I read it 24/7. I thought it was so cool. Then I lost it when I moved. After I lost it I forgot about it. But by some freak thought wave, I remembered it and I wanted it sooo bad! This book is a great book. Very wholsesome yet enjoyable for adult readers as well. Thank you Nina Laden, for a gem of children's literature.

Summary: Great story with excellent illustrations
Review: Nina Laden gives a very humorous possibility to a dog's night life. The illustrations are bright and colorful and reflect the story's action well. The story made me laugh and makes me wonder if my dog just goes to sleep every night. This is definitely one of the best children's books I have read

Summary: As much fun for parents to read as for kids
Review: The boy notices his dog coming out of a limo wearing a sharp-looking tuxedo. He follows the dog the next night and discovers a whole different world in his dog's life. The dog runs a nightclub where "dogs can be dogs." I enjoy the colorful illustrations and the sense of humor in this story especially the animated words. The type looks like a little boy's handwriting, which involves you more into the story. This is one of the few books I take pleasure in reading to my child rather than dreading "another long and dull story."
