Synopsis
THE HILARIOUS ADVENTURES OF TWO CONFUSED CANINES
Down Girl and Sit are two dogs who are "smarter than squirrels." They know how to protect their masters from all the things that can go wrong in the neighborhood: they bark at paperboys and guard the garbage cans, and keep mischievous squirrels at bay. But when Here Kitty Kitty moves in next door, their daily routines are turned topsy-turvy. Filled with humor and adventure, this illustrated chapter book takes a look at life in the backyard from the well-intentioned but misguided viewpoint of man’s best friend.

From School Library Journal
Grade 1-3–In brief chapters, a pet dog describes how she guards her backyard against dangerous squirrels and thieving birds and chats through the fence with her canine neighbor, Sit. Down Girl loves to wake up her master before the scary alarm clock goes off and also attempts to keep the yard clear of things attractive to birds by eating everything in sight. The two pooches have adventures involving a neighboring cat, a gate that is accidentally left open, and dreaded pet-sitters. Down Girl continually maintains that dogs don't lie, have big brains, and know how to protect their owners. Reed's humorous black-and-white illustrations add to the charm of this transitional chapter book by showing the human's frustration in dealing with his sometimes naughty, but always well-meaning dog. Animal lovers will enjoy this offering, and teachers can use it as a writing model for point-of-view stories.–Debbie Whitbeck, West Ottawa Public Schools, Holland, MI
