What to Expect: Friendship, pets, imagination, and magic.
DoGoody may look like an ordinary dog, but he has an extraordinary secret: in his doghouse, an elevator leads to a magical mansion filled with every type of room you can imagine. DoGoody shares the mansion with his best friend, Fleabins. However, Fleabins is not allowed to leave the mansion. If he did, all sorts of trouble would happen. Of course, Fleabins doesn’t always remember that, so all sorts of trouble happens! Like when Fleabins nearly got eaten at a tea party, started a fight at Doggy school, or let sheep out of the mansion to rampage through the play park. Fleabins may be a troublemaker—but life is never dull when he is around!
Readers will meet two delightfully loveable characters in this beginner’s chapter book – the irrepressible Fleabins and the loyal and protective DoGoody. Their unlikely friendship not only results in some hilarious adventures but also underpins the moral of these wacky stories – that friends are there for each other. The magical secondary world they inhabit is filled with delicious details, from the music box that plays whatever you tell it to, to the department store-sized dressing room filled with fancy outfits.
The stories are arranged into short chapters filled with lovely, old-fashioned back-and-white line drawings that both add humor and help novice readers follow the text. The text combines short sentences and paragraphs with some more challenging vocabulary to help readers build their literacy skills.
Sir DoGoody Button is a delightful series of doggy stories, perfect for readers just transitioning to the chapter book format.
