from P.D. Eastman's much-loved children's
story, Go, Dog. Go! is a chaotic carnival
of music and physical comedy. Kids are
gonna howl. Green, Blue, Red and Yellow
Dogs sporting spots and silly hats.
Jackhammers: rat-a-tat-tat. Pillow fights:
yikes and a bonk. Trampolines: yippee,
zoing, zing. And cars--lots and lots
of cars--going vroom, zoom.
