Meet the most awesome rapping dog since PaRappa the Rapper in Hip Hop Dog by Chris Raschka, illustrated by Vladimir Radunsky. The Hip Hop Dog’s story is a bit of a sad one. All his litter-mates were adopted, but he has no one to care for him. He looks at all the pure-bred dogs from the street and wonders why he is “the saddest and the baddest, the baddest and the saddest.” But he’s learned to survive. He’s a true city dog. He spends his nights sniffing out cool music, and his days ruling the dog park. Written in the style of rap lyrics, Hip Hop Dog is a treat to read aloud, with plenty of opportunity to make every dog sound imaginable. Use it to start of conversation with you child about stray dogs, or just read it for fun, and see why “it’s all right to be the Hip Hop Dog.” See this book listed in our catalog
