Spike in the Kennel

Spike is going to the kennel for the very first time. And it’s scary! He’s surrounded by dogs he doesn’t know, given a shower and a shampoo, fed weird food, and then, worst of all, put in a cage to sleep. Poor Spike! But though at first he’s worried that he might just die of homesickness, when the other dogs sneak out for a little late-night outdoor romping, Spike learns that making friends in a new place might actually be pretty fun after all. In fact, he might even want to go back for another visit! Family Life called Spike “a goofy-looking dog you’ve just gotta love”. And in a review of Spike in the City, School Library Journal praised “the lively, engaging cartoonlike illustrations”. In this delightful story about the first time away from home, Bogan’s ever-expressive pooch Spike proves as irresistible as ever!
