Description

When Ike Larue is "imprisoned" at the Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy, he tries everything to get sent home—weepy letters to his owner, even illness. In reality, Brotweiler is more like camp than prison, but still, Ike's not cut out for life w/o Mrs. Larue & his creature comforts. Finally, he runs away only to find himself back in Snort City—just in time to save Mrs. Larue's life.Teague is at the top of his fetching form in this madcap comedy where the real world of Brotweiler & the one Ike imagines are brilliantly depicted thru split-screen visuals, the former in color & the latter in b&w.

      • premium: True
      • source: AudioFile Magazine
      • content: The "Snort City Register Gazette" keeps close tabs on the whereabouts of Ike, the recalcitrant dog of Mrs. Gertrude R. LaRue. When Ike is removed to the Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy for behavior management, he begins a letter-writing campaign to persuade his owner to shorten his two-month (longer in dog years) stay. David de Vries's narration catches the humor in the situation. His fluctuating falsetto underscores Mrs. LaRue's list of complaints, which include howling at the neighbors' cats and stealing food off the counter. ("I'm at my wit's end!") As Ike, he uses a myriad of vocal styles--wheedling, charmingly proper, and pointedly exasperated, for example, in a histrionic display to convince Mrs. LaRue that Ike has always had the best of intentions.

        Starred review from July 22, 2002
        A dog's life is hardly to be envied if one believes the words of Ike, a rambunctious pooch sentenced to obedience school by his exasperated owner, Mrs. LaRue. Having repeatedly terrorized the neighbors' cats and snatched one snack too many from the kitchen counter, Ike finds himself enrolled at Igor Brotweiler Canine Academy. The hero begins a clever letter-writing campaign to Mrs. LaRue that paints a grim (and hopefully guilt-inducing) picture of his Brotweiler experience. But readers are privy to the hilarious truth. Teague (How Do Dinosaurs Say Good Night?) depicts the pampered pup at the spa-like academy in brightly colored vignettes, juxtaposed with black-and-white prison-like scenes that illustrate Ike's imagined hardship. He composes his correspondence with dramatic flair, whether describing his "inmate" experience ("The guards
        here are all caught up in this 'good dog, bad dog' thing") or reflecting on his misdeeds back at home ("Were the neighbors really complaining about my howling?... Let's recall that these are the same neighbors who are constantly waking me
        up in the middle of the afternoon with their loud vacuuming").Throughout, the devilish laughs are in the details (waiters in white coats serving academy dogs gourmet meals and frozen drinks; Ike's images of a hard life in striped prison garb plus ball-and-chain). Even the duo's reunion (to much fanfare) plays off of an earlier joke. All in all, a tail-wagger of a book that will have readers howling with amusement. Ages 5-8.
