The Borrowed Puppy

Gr 2-4–This beloved series is back with yet another adorable dog gracing the cover. Jade desperately wants a puppy, but her little brother is too young for a pet in the house.

With simple stories perfect for young readers, this series does a great job building tension and finding a solution in a satisfying way that keeps kids coming back for the cute animals. Black-and-white illustrations are sprinkled throughout the story, which features more words than pictures.
