Barkus is back! With new tricks. New friends. And lots more fun. The lovable Barkus and his lucky young owner romp through the pages of this delightful series from Newbery Medal–winning author Patricia MacLachlan. The simple text told in short chapters is just right for children ready to take their first steps toward reading on their own.
This book of a girl and her dog includes five different mini stories about different adventures and happenings in their lives. The stories weren't that exciting or captivating...I personally found them to be dull. Maybe dog-lovers would have a different opinion.
