Customer Reviews

Laughter and giggles from toddler to Kindergartener

I read this out loud with my three children, 2 1/2 to 6. They all laugh until they are gasping and even my husband, listening in from the next room, gets a chuckle. Picking it off the shelf and scanning it will bring a grin and reading it by yourself is good, but this is a book that screams to be read out loud.

Cute and entertaining!

This is a wonderfully "cute" story about the mischievous Murphy-STOP. At least that is what he claims his name is! Murphy is an adorable little terrier, full of joie de vive, who lives a very complete day and manages to get into trouble without even trying.The illustrations are colorful and cute and a beginning reader will really enjoy reading about the antics of Murphy-STOP! Great starter book! Murphy's expressions are priceless!

"Murphy, Stop That"

I bought this "children's" book for an "adult" friend of mine. Why? you ask--because his name is Murphy, and he looooves dogs. And I'm sure he will enjoy it as much as I did and as much as any child would. The story is fun, the pictures delightful, and Murphy (the dog) is just plain cute!

a lot of fun to read aloud

I heard this book being read on NPR and being a dog lover, I knew I would own it for myself. Everything about this book is fun, typical canine insight abounds. Buy two books: one as a gift and one to have on hand when guests or relitives arrive with small children...

An excellent "starter book" especially for young dog lovers

A Day In The Life Of Murphy is a delightful, easy-reader picture book about an eager and loveable terrier, who barks, runs, and plays all day. Charming color illustrations Alice Provensen complements her simple text, making A Day In The Life Of Murphy an excellent "starter book" -- especially for young dog lovers!
