Poodle and Hound — Kathryn Lasky

Acclaimed author Kathryn Lasky explores the nature of friendship in three delightful short stories for beginning readers.

Creative, impulsive Poodle and loyal, dependable Hound are very different. On her own, Poodle likes to go get her hair done at the salon and have tea at a fancy restaurant. On his own, Hound likes to read the newspaper and do math and draw complicated plans. Together, the dynamic duo stargazes, plants a garden, and proves that opposites can not only attract but complement and help each other.

A perfect story for fans of unlikely friendships and cooperative projects, warmly illustrated by Mitch Vane.
