    About this ebook

    Meet Bailey, a playful yellow lab puppy!

    It's a new school year and things haven't been great for Kat so far. She's being teased, and her best friend Maya is in a different class. But things start to look up when her Aunt Jenn opens a kennel and dog-grooming salon, and the girls are allowed to help out with a puppy named Bailey! But is the responsibility of watching someone else's pup too much for Kat and Maya to handle?

      The Monster In The Cafeteria

      That’s when breakfast has worn off. My belly is empty like an ice-cream cone when the ice cream is licked out—a dry, sugary shell with spitty smears. It growls loud and fierce, as though a Hungry Monster just snuck into our school. Everyone goes quie

      This is a cute early chapter book in the "Puppy Pals" series. It is a series definitely geared to young girls. The main characters are Kat and her best friend Maya. They are puppy freaks, although neither of them has a dog of their own. They have been in the same class at school every year until this one. It is tough for Kat as she is quiet and shy and is being teased this year. When her Aunt Jenn opens a dog grooming salon that also boards animals, Kat and Maya offer to help out with a puppy named Bailey that is boarding for a few days. Are they responsible enough for this job? Will they make the right decisions?There are some cute black and white illustrations in the book that add to the story. This is a series that little girls, especially those that love animals (dogs in particular) will enjoy. Short simple chapters will keep them interested. A good book for late primary, early junior classrooms as well as elementary school libraries.I received a copy of this book in return for an honest and unbiased review.

    Bailey - Susan Hughes

    Puppies were running across the grass. Dozens of puppies.

    Some were black, some were brown, and some were white with black spots. Some puppies were red and shaggy, and some were gray with white muzzles. All the puppies had smiling faces and wagging tails.

    Kat was sitting on her front steps. Her eyes were closed. She was having her favorite puppy daydream. And it always ended the same…

    The puppies jump around, begging for her attention. Her mother and father smile at her.

    Of course you can have a puppy, Katherine, her mom says.

    Her dad sweeps out his arm. Pick any one you want!

    Kat smiles too. She looks at all the puppies, and she tries to choose. The little toffee-colored Irish terrier that jumps into her lap? The shy gray schnauzer looking at her, his head cocked to one side? The black pug so tiny that—

    Aidan’s running shoe nudged her leg, and Kat opened her eyes. As usual, her brother was listening to music. He pulled out one of his earbuds. Come on, Kat, he said. Let’s go! We’re going to be late for school.

    Kat sighed. The daydream was over. She sent a mental message to the puppies: I’ll come back and visit soon!

    She ran to catch up with Aidan. The sun was shining. A squirrel chattered at her from the branch of a chestnut tree.

    Do you think Mom and Dad will ever let me get a dog? Kat asked her brother as they walked.

    Aidan shrugged. You’ve asked them a million times. They always say no.

    That’s because they travel so much for work. But I don’t! Kat protested. "And I’d be the one looking after the dog."

    Aidan bounced his basketball as he walked. I don’t know, Kat. I think you should forget about it for now.

    Kat sighed. She knew he would say that. He didn’t care if they got a dog or not. Her parents both liked dogs, but she was the only one who was truly dog crazy.

    Kat and Aidan reached school just as the bell rang.

    Later, alligator, Aidan said to Kat. He hurried over to the seventh- and eighth-grade entrance.

    See you soon, baboon! Kat called after him.

    She rushed across the playground. But she didn’t get in her line. Instead, Kat went over to the other fourth-grade line.

    Maya! she called. Her best friend hung back as her class made its way into the school.

    There you are, Kat-Nip! Late again! Maya said with a grin.

    Kat made a funny face back at her. Maya had called her Kat-Nip for as long as she could remember. You love dogs, but your name is Kat? How goofy! she’d say. Maya often teased her, and Kat teased her back.

    It was all in fun, since they had been best friends forever. Even though they lived
