Red & Rover

Red & Rover will bring back treasured memories of time spent with your own 4 legged friend. Red & Rover is to the love felt between "Man" & his true best friend as Diblert is to the business world. The stories are for all ages (0-99). Rover is a cross between lassie, snoopy, and rin-tin-tin. If you are a reader of the series you should get this book. If you have not read the series you will start reading it after reading this book and become a fan. This book provides the first meeting betweed Red and Rover. I have purchased 3 copies: one to read, one to save, and one to loan. After reading this book you will be hooked and look at your current coompanion with more understanding.My only wish is that all the strips would be published.

Red and Rover

Red and Rover displays the love between a boy and his best friend. One of the best comic strip books I've ever read. I recommend it to anyone.

Red and Rover: A Boy, A Dog, A Time, A Feeling

Brian Basset book should be on every bookshelf from child to adult. The story of a boy and his dog is timeless. The book is not just for the fans of his comic strip. In this day and age of...violence, and terrorism all over the media, this book will transport you to a time that will bring back memories of your own childhood. With Christmas and Chanukah only a few months away, this book in my opinion will make the perfect gift for anyone.

Amazing discover!t

This is one of those books you get because you know the author ( from Adam@Home fame) and put all your faith in it. The book is excellent!! The relation between the dog and the kid is great. The 50/60s style is incredibe. Best buy of the month!!

Charming and fun

At first glance I thought this was just a Calvin & Hobbes ripoff. And there is a resemblance. But the difference is vital - the dog. This strip is first and foremost about the relationship between a boy and his dog. Anyone who loved a dog as a child, or wanted to, will be drawn into this charming strip.And just as Rover is a real dog, Red is a real boy. He has an obnoxious big brother, wants to be an astronaut, and has a crush on Marcia Brady.After a while you'll realize that Red and Rover live in the past - somewhere in the seventies if fashion is any indication. It's by design. This strip is imbued with the nostalgia for a better, simpler time.Give R & R a shot.
