Synopsis
Stella's ready for some fun and games--and Buffy her puppy's the perfect playmate. "Throw...and catch! Throw...and catch." Then, it's time for some doggie tricks. But Buffy will only SIT DOWN and SIT UP: she won't try anything new. But look: here's Stella's friend Sam. Maybe he can help with a stunt or two... Sprightly rhyming text and cartoon-like pictures capture all the antics.
School Library Journal
PreS-Gr 1-Pedagogically correct, with a word bank in a banner stretched across the spreads and suggestions on how to use it, these titles are specifically designed for curriculum activities. Both have up to 50 easy words and phrases, accompanied by colorful, cartoon illustrations. In Play Stella teaches her dog new tricks. In the second book, the cumulative, repetitive text tells of a prince who needs a bandage. While these offerings will certainly never become classics, those familiar with the federal "No Child Left Behind Act" will acknowledge their usefulness in teaching and encouraging young children to read.-Pamela K.
