Synopsis

Rah rah grrr! We're the fighting fur!

The Wagstaff Dogs have lost every game this season. Until Martha finds them the perfect coach . . . Carolina! She knows all the plays and can handle a football like a pro. But football just doesn't go with her girly-girl image. Can Martha convince Carolina to help, even if Tiffany Blatsky might see her?

This Level 2 Green Light Reader based on the popular PBS TV series Martha Speaks is all about teamwork and following your passions, even when you're nervous about what others might think. Includes a "Toss Up" word game about sports words that have double meanings, such as "pass," "tackle," and "huddle." Go, Dogs!
