Nikki Adopts Abbey Dog Barbara Morris

A heartfelt story about a little girl who adopts a tiny basset hound puppy and starts a whirlwind of adventures.




Nikki loves helping set up items at her uncle's weekly auction. Her favorite job is making a big batch of her sour lemon-aid which always makes people pucker! This week a man pulls up and has three adorable puppies that he would like to adopt to good homes.



Nikki immediately falls in love and wants to adopt one of the adorable puppies. However, she only has her "sticky" quarter that she earned at last week's auction. A woman adopts the first two for ten dollars each but leaves the smallest one behind. Uncle AJ nods towards Nikki and winks at the crowd. It appears that today, a sticky quarter is just enough to adopt Abbey Dog!
