Praise for this book

""If Dogs Run Free," from the 1970 album New Morning, is Dylan's version of a novelty song: a goof on a '50s-style mashup of piano jazz and spoken word.... It inspires the talented Campbell (East Dragon, West Dragon) to create a benevolent, retro-ish watercolor universe of cross-species friendships and endlessly fun things to do, with a wide-eyed and inexhaustible girl, her younger brother, and their pet dog as ringleaders."-- "Publishers Weekly, June 2013"
"The lyrics to a 1970 Dylan song serve as the text for this quirky ode to children and dogs running free, doing their own thing. Through his appealing watercolor illustrations, Campbell has done a fine job creating a coherent, imaginative story from Dylan's poetic lyrics...a satisfying tale, with undeniably cute canines and children running free and enjoying life, on their own like rolling stones."-- "Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2013"
"This illustrated version of a lesser-known Bob Dylan song focuses on the joys of a carefree childhood. A girl and her younger brother wander through their day, have adventures on the playground, make mischief at a swamp, and gaze at the night sky. Along the way, more and more dogs join their play...sweet, simple concept...humorous watercolor illustrations."-- "School Library Journal, November 2013"
"Bob Dylan fans will love this sweet interpretation of his canine-themed 1970's hit, If Dogs Run Free. Kids will go nuts for Scott Campbell's detailed illustrations, and all parents/babysitters/librarians/grandparents will appreciate the message: Just do what you love, the rest will follow."-- "goop.com, January 2015"
