Woof Woof Wooflet
I’ve gotten my copy of Merry Christmas, Sweetie! Woof, Woof, Woof!, which is a small boxed set that includes a flat cardboard doghouse with Christmas stickers to deorate it with.

It seems like Sparky has turned into quite a popular topic for books aimed at kids library. Next up, this January, is a new such volume in the First Biographies line. Let’s hope that author Cheryl Carlson hits the mark better than some of the lesser shelf-fillers that have come …

Pretty Pop-Up
