The Boy wants to go camping. The Girl wants to go fishing. It's a good thing the Dad is so smart. He knows how to keep everyone happy-they can go camping and fishing! But camping and fishing would have to wait, for while the Boy, the Girl, and the Dad are setting up camp, the Girl is sure she hears the sound of a dog. Sure enough, the Boy and the Girl find a cute puppy with a lame paw.

Hiding their smiles, the Boy and the Girl ask the Dad if they can keep their newfound friend. They're so excited when he says yes. But it isn't long before the Boy and the Girl come to realize that it's really very hard to take care of a four-legged best friend. Are the Boy and the Girl really ready for this kind of responsibility?

With colorful images and fun, rhythmic phrases, The Boy and the Girl: Finding Puppy is an excellent book for new readers. Help your children practice their reading skills and learn about the importance of responsibility with the fun and silly adventure of the Boy, the Girl, the Dad, and Puppy!
