From the publisher

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.
