Down Girl and Sit, On the Road
by
Lucy Nolan
I'm
Down Girl,
the intelligent, beautiful dog who lives next door to my friend Sit.
We spend most of our time chasing squirrels and that sneaky Here
Kitty Kitty who jumps the fence into our yard and touches our
stuff. The best part of my life is that I have a car! I always drive
... well, actually I get to put my feet on the steering wheel, but Rruff
likes to drive. You won't believe the places I go and the crazy things
that happen to my master, Rruff, and me! Why, I've even written a book
about it!
Come
read about our trip to the beach! (I got to drive!), our camping
trip (Rruff forgot to bring his food), and, yes, I hate to say
it...our trip to The Lady in the White Coat.
Now,
your teacher will say it's all about learning about point of view,
but I think you'll find it's all about how much you love dogs
and the fun you have with us!! |
