Dog In Charge by K.L. Going 🟌🟌🟌🟌🟌

My granddaughter and I really enjoyed reading this book. Both the illustrations and story were upbeat and energetic. The faces that Dog made were hilarious. We played a game of looking at the Dog pictures in the front of the book and trying to match it with his emotion.

When the Dog’s family goes to the store, Dog is left in charge of the house and its 5 cats. The cats get into all kinds of mischief and Dog tries to get them to stop by thinking he should offer them cat treats. But before he can give them the treats, he eats them all. Which makes him sleepy, and he takes a nap. While the dog is sleeping the cats clean up the mess they made. Not knowing this the Dog is worried that the family will be upset with him for the shambles the cats made but since the cats cleaning up everything for him all is well. My granddaughter thought this was a very funny book and asked for me to read it to her again. Which is always a good review.

Fun Activity: With your child make faces and have them guess what emotion you are trying to show.
