The much-anticipated sequel to the BOSTON GLOBE-HORN BOOK Award winner "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE
Call in the dog trainer! Don’t-Care Dave, the high-energy destructive dynamo, is definitely out of control. But when the Brigadier turns up to teach this pup a few things, Dave is not the only one who learns something new. In a hugely satisfying sequel to the award-winning "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE, Bob Graham creates a funny, warmhearted story to remind us that when it comes to dogs -- and their humans -- it’s affection and trust, loyalty and love (and of course those silky soft ears) that really matter.

About the Author:
Bob Graham is the author-illustrator of many beloved books for children, including "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE; JETHRO BYRD, FAIRY CHILD; DIMITY DUMPTY: THE STORY OF HUMPTY'S LITTLE SISTER; and OSCAR'S HALF BIRTHDAY, which, in a starred review, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL called "an effortlessly multicultural story, full of the joy of childhood, family, and community." Bob Graham lives in Australia.
From Booklist:
The popular Let's Get A Pup! Said Kate (2001) gets a sequel. The story picks up some months after big dog Rosy and little dog Dave have joined the family. Placid Rosy has settled in nicely, but Dave is joyful. Make that exuberant. Out of control. So when the family sees a notice for pup training, they sign on. But the trainer, known as the Brigadier, is much sterner than the family expects. And though his firm voice and jerk of a chain gets Dave to obey, he loses some of his zip after the training. In a feel-good ending (that doesn't make much sense), the Brigadier decides that the family is right and that dogs should be spoken to in softer voices, thus leaving Dave to go merrily on his way. The story is slight, and without the heartfelt emotion of the previous book, but the watercolor pictures are just as enjoyable, with spot art and aerial views adding interest. The thoroughly contemporary family (mom has a tattoo) are flummoxed by Dave's behavior, but they, like the audience, will find it hard not to ooh and aah at his antics. Cooper, Ilene
