From the publisher

Bad dog! Tom the dog is being very bad…Can he redeem himself before Dad puts him out in the yard? Loveable rascal Tom the dog is being very bad. He breaks the TV. He chases Kit the cat. He pulls down the tablecloth. Luckily, when Kit goes missing, it takes someone with four legs and a powerful nose to find her. Forgiveness and love triumph in this charming, easy-to-read story of a family dog who is rarely on his best behavior but whose heart is always in the right place. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level C. The award-winning I Like to Read(c) series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards. Acclaimed author-illustrators–including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors–create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own! For readers who’ve mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high-frequency words than Level B books. Level C books are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers. When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D.
