      This book is an oldie but a goodie. Pinkerton is a Great Dane, who has a lot of trouble learning their commands. So much so they flunk out of obeisance school. However, when the house is invaded by a burglar Pinkerton will save the day, even if the family has to use the “wrong” commands to get the “right” answer. This book has been banned, but also “fixed” by the author to take out references of guns after Sandy Hook. It was the author that approached the publisher about the new edition for it’s 30th anniversary.

      Pinketon, Behave! is appropriate for children grades kindergarten through second grade. This picture book is an easy read and is realistic fiction.

      This story, based off of Kellogg's actual Great Dane, Pinkerton, exemplifies some of the troubles that go along with teaching a pet to come, fetch, and get a burglar. But, as the family learns, a long time, and hard work, at obedience school could pay off with these commands later on.

      I think this is a great story for kids. Pinkerton is a great character and represents many dogs we know and love. He misbehaves, tries obedience class and is kicked out. Instead of fetching the paper and attacking the burglar, he eats the paper and kisses the burglar. Then, when a burglar breaks into his house, his owner tells him to fetch and Pinkerton comes to the rescue and chases off the burglar. This is a story that's a lot of fun. It's great for earlly readers because the words are pretty easy, but the story is great. The illustrations are fantastic. Pinkerton is a Great Dane and is full of life in the drawings.

      Unruly but genial pooch puts his bad habits to good use on a burglar. Fun story in a "revised and re-illustrated" edition which I have not seen so I cannot compare.
