About This Book
Motor Dog is a lively, rhyming picture book about a boy named Flip who orders a robot dog, hoping for the perfect pet. What he gets is a high-energy, remote-controlled canine that quickly goes rogue, setting off a comical chase after the neighborhood cat, Scoot. This book is perfect for children aged 4-8, offering a fast-paced, humorous story that explores the unexpected joys and challenges of pet ownership, even when the pet is mechanical. It's a great read-aloud that will have both parents and children laughing.
Flip orders a "perfect pet" from the Internet but neither the leash nor the remote control may be enough when Motor Dog decides to go after Scoot the Cat .
