Marcy
Series Number 2/ Book 14
Themes: Easy-to-read/
Grandmothers/ Self confidence/ Series
Armed with
a clipboard of essential tips for new dog owners, Marcy and her friend Bella
walk the neighbourhood trying to match suitable homes with lost dogs from the
local ‘pound’. Easily read, funny
and with a strong message of good pet ownership, this is just one new title in
a very full series that I have only just come across. For teachers wanting to get younger children ‘hooked’ into
an attractive series I think these books would be well worth considering. There
is a companion series Toocool with a
male main ‘lead’ although Marcy and Bella also appear in them.
Year 2- 3/
Ages 6-7
