Max the Flying Sausage Dog: Book Three A Scary Tail by John O’Driscoll and Richard Kelley and Illustrated by Arthur Robins

December 6, 2016 by The Picture Book Review

[Reviewed from copy received courtesy of Words in the Works] Max the Flying Sausage Dog is one of our absolute favorite book series. The subject, the humor, the prose, and illustrations are so perfectly and expertly done and so completely inline with our family’s sense of humor that we’re all enamored with books one, two, and now three. The hardest my eldest son has ever laughed was when we read the first book of Max the Flying Sausage Dog. He […]

October 28, 2016 by The Picture Book Review
