An energetic little dog wants to go on an adventure– and make new friends along the way. Come along with Pug in this Guided Reading Level C story, perfect for beginning readers to read on their own! Looking out the window, Pug sees Peg taking a walk one snowy morning. He wants to join her! But no matter how much he yap, yap, yaps, no one wants to take him outside. Mom is too comfortable, and Dad is too tired from shoveling. That just leaves Tad, who’s still asleep. But Pug knows just how to wake him up– Yap, yap, yap! Tad doesn’t want to get up– but once they’re out on their walk, he has to agree it was a very good idea.
