Down Girl's owner, Rruff, is very lucky to have her. She wakes him up with kisses before he can be scared by his alarm. She sings along with Rruff while he plays the guitar by the campfire. She and her friend, Sit, protect their masters' hiding places (read: garbage cans) from Here Kitty Kitty. Down Girl and Sit search for their lost owners in stinky leaf piles and scummy creeks. What would Rruff do without Down Girl?
Down Girl and Sit: Smarter Than Squirrels and Down Girl and Sit: On the Road, by Lucy Nolan, are wonderfully entertaining stories from a dog's point of view. You and your child will finally understand why dogs do the things they do. These are easy chapter books with cute pictures on every page. Even though they are appropriate for fairly young chapter book readers, they are also enjoyable for older readers (including adults like myself).
