Arf-arf-arf-a-ROOOOO! That's Scooter saying that this book has it all: humor, adventure, unconditional love, and a memorable dog named Scooter.
Scooter LOVES the outside. He loves it so much that one day when Lucy accidentally leaves the door ajar, Scooter goes out all by himself. But without Lucy, the outside is a scary place, with trucks that go WEEEEE-OOOOO-WEEEEE-OOOOO and BEEP-BEEP-BEEP! Luckily, Lucy finds Scooter. Children will relate to Scooter's curiosity as well as his fears, and will enjoy the endearing pictures and the fun read-aloud sounds.

Anne Bowen is a former elementary school language arts teacher. Her previous books include a Bank Street College Best Children's Book of the Year and a Society of School Librarians International Honor Book. She lives in Utah.
Lucy and Scooter have a routine. Every evening they take a walk in “THE OUTSIDE,” tromping the same route all the way to the corner, but never past it. Lucy sings, Scooter wags and barks, and they arrive home safely to a treat, a water bowl, and Scooter’s doggy bedtime. One morning Scooter finds the door ajar and heads out alone, venturing past the corner, where he discovers that “THE OUTSIDE” is bigger, better, and scarier than he imagined it to be. Lucy finds him, routine is restored, and all is well. The pattern of the pair’s regimen makes for a sturdy story arc, complete with predictable communications (Lucy with her words and Scooter with tongue and tail) and woof-to-English translations. Carter’s sunny watercolor sketches hum with energy, filling the neighborhood setting with friendly detail. Children with dogs at home will recognize the familiar responsibilities of canine care, and those without may well inquire about getting a pet of their own. Preschool-Grade 2. --Thom Barthelmess
