Go, Dog. Go!

For the last month or two, Alex has asked for one book in particular every night before bed. He calls the book "Go Go Go" or "Dog Go Go" and sometimes by its title "Go, Dog. Go!". The book has many simple sentences. Alex now seems to understand many of the prepositions, conjunctions, and adjectives in addition to the nouns that he learned a while ago. He knows every page of this book and can name most of the pictures (e.g., the yellow ladder, the colors of the dogs, the ice cream, the birds on the swing, the fish, the hat, the stoplight, etc.).

His favorite part is when the dogs stop their cars. Alex yells "Stop!" and raises his arms up just like the bird in the book.

We have read this book many many many times and we suspect Alex is about to move on to a different book soon. He has definitely learned a lot from this one.
