Hardworking
Puppies by
Lynn Reiser
We
are little puppies who like to play.
We could run and chase a ball every day!
We could roll around in grass and dig a hole or two.
We could bark at little squirrels until the day was
through.
But
we get tired of playing.
We need more to do.
We want you to train us,
So we can work for you.
We
are hardworking puppies,
We like having jobs, you see.
From firefighters to therapy pups,
What good friends are we!
You
will love this bright picture book about ten puppies
who want jobs. One by one, a person calls them to be
trained to work. You can count them leaving. Ten little
puppies, nine puppies, eight puppies, seven puppies,
six puppies, five puppies, four puppies, three puppies,
two puppies, one puppy--all have jobs. Can you guess
what they do after work?
The
story will encourage you to train your dog to do great
things. You'll also meet some big synonyms for "beginners"
along the way.
