Dogs
Nothing in Zach Stewart’s life has ever been as complicated as the sixth grade. Between preparing for the arrival of his new baby brother (otherwise known as “the little lizard”) and keeping up with the baseball team, Zach is being pulled in more directions than he can handle.
Bo’s undisciplined mischief has landed him and his owner, Mrs. Barnett, in the vet’s office—twice. Now in a splint and a special funnel-shaped collar, Bo is finally learning obedience. He even helps a new restaurant owner, the famous baseball player Pete Incaviglia, discover who has been breaking in and destroying the kitchen at night.
Eight champion huskies awaken one Christmas Eve night to Santa’s sleigh full of goodies. But they aren’t receiving presents yet. The man in red needs help with one final stop. Nome, Alaska, is last on the list and the heavy snow is not letting up. With Rudolph’s nose out of power, someone else will have to guide this sleigh tonight.
In the fourth book of Steven L. Layne’s Growing with Family Series, he captures a child’s longing for a pet and introduces the realities of owning one.
It’s Randolph, the loud-mouthed coon dog! Who knew that a pup so small could howl so big? He is so loud he might even scare Santa away!
Rock ’n’ Roll Dogs, a companion book to Jazz Cats, guarantees the reader a howl of a good time! In the Fireplug doggie disco, kids are welcome to visit but not fleas, cats, vets, squares, or ticks. As stray dogs strut outside wearing leather jackets, pink toy poodles groom in the flea-powder room, the bulldog doorman checks doggie tags, and Duke, a springer spaniel, waits the tables. All dogs dance to the sounds of the Rock ’n’ Roll Memphis Blues Dogs but are very careful to not step on any blue suede shoes.
