Oh, Tucker!

by Steven Kroll

Thelma's puppy, Tucker, is lively -- to say the least. He hasn't even had breakfast yet and already he's zooming and zigging and zagging, wagging his tail and slipping on the floor, knocking over a vase and a lamp along with the clock, the radio, and a glass of water on Thelma's parents' nightstand. His robust enthusiasm exasperates the family, but young readers will relish the antics of this lovable canine.

First Grade Library Book

Our first grader took Oh, Tucker out from the school library his first visit. He carried the book around the house for a solid week and 'tried' to read a page to WHOEVER would listen. A few weeks later he tried to get the book again, he even asked the librarian about it, she is putting a 'hold on it for him.' If this isn't the best testimonial then there isn't one! When a book interests a child this much it has to be good. We are purchasing him his own hardcover.

my 2-year-old loves this book, but it's annoying

I couldn't agree with another reviewer's comments more. My 28-month old aabsolutely loves this book. It makes her laugh out loud everytime I say WAHM and explain what Tucker did. However, I have to admit that when she asks for this book, I groan on the inside. The wording is kind of stupid with no real story line. But I read it... and she laughs her head off...

Oh, Tucker

A girl named Thelma called Tucker, her dog, in for breakfast. What happends once the dog is inside will shock you! I like the illustrations that Scott Nash used. If you want to find out what happens you should read this book.Yaslin C

A PERFECT DOG STORY!

Oh, Tucker! is a splendid children's story. It is a short read, but anyone who has a puppy or a dog can truly relate to this one! I teach first grade and my children LOVE to hear this story. They LOVE to participate in the WHAMS! throughout the story. The illustrations are WONDERFUL. I have put it on my all-time favorite list for children's books.

Cute, Cute, Cute!!!

"Oh, Tucker!" Is a very quick read with large letters and great pictures. The whole story is about calming down this crazy dog who wrecks the house. Any animal-loving child will find it hilarious.
