Officer Buckle and Gloria

Officer Buckle and Gloria is a really funny book for children to read. It was written and illustrated by Peggy Rathmann. Nobody listens to officer Buckle when he shares all of his saftey tips, until he gets a dog Gloria who does funny things during the speaches to demonstrate the saftey tips, however, Officer Buckle does see her doing this. When he finds out he becomes upset but finally realizes he needs Gloria so that the children listen and they become best buddies.
I read this book a couple times because there are lots of little details I didn't take time to notice the first time I read the book. On the inside cover it shows lots of Officer Buckle's saftey tips with Gloria acting them out. When some of the students write letters to the Officer and his dog it shows a lot of the letters and you are able to read some of them. Also, there is just a lot of detail in the book that I feel deserves a little extra time to appreciate. The book is full of good saftely lesson and also incorporates humor with the actions the dog makes. I think children would really like reading this book. I think it would really appeal to children who know how to read so they could appreciate all the detailed writing in the book.
