Book Overview
MURPHY-STOP-THAT is my name. I am a terrier. I bark. I bark at anything and everything and all the time. On a farm filled with delicious kitchen smells and dumb farm animals and unexplained noises, there's always something to keep a dog busy -- and often in trouble. From his morning rush to the house for breakfast to his final rounds before curling up in his comfortable bed in the barn at night, Murphy is the sort of irrepressible but lovable dog that only Alice Provensen, with her trademark affection for even misbehaving animals, could portray.

Laughter and giggles from toddler to Kindergartener
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
I read this out loud with my three children, 2 1/2 to 6. They all laugh until they are gasping and even my husband, listening in from the next room, gets a chuckle. Picking it off the shelf and scanning it will bring a grin and reading it by yourself is good, but this is a book that screams to be read out loud.
Cute and entertaining!

This is a wonderfully "cute" story about the mischievous Murphy-STOP. At least that is what he claims his name is! Murphy is an adorable little terrier, full of joie de vive, who lives a very complete day and manages to get into trouble without even trying.The illustrations are colorful and cute and a beginning reader will really enjoy reading about the antics of Murphy-STOP! Great starter book! Murphy's expressions are priceless!
"Murphy, Stop That"
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I bought this "children's" book for an "adult" friend of mine. Why? you ask--because his name is Murphy, and he looooves dogs. And I'm sure he will enjoy it as much as I did and as much as any child would. The story is fun, the pictures delightful, and Murphy (the dog) is just plain cute!
a lot of fun to read aloud

I heard this book being read on NPR and being a dog lover, I knew I would own it for myself. Everything about this book is fun, typical canine insight abounds. Buy two books: one as a gift and one to have on hand when guests or relitives arrive with small children...
