I love Down Girl and Sit. They are two dogs that live in neighboring houses and this is a collection of stories about them, as narrated by Down Girl. Down Girl lives with her master, Rruff, and loves it when they go out for a drive. In the first story, Down Girl and Sit and their masters go to the beach and get into all sorts of mischief. They get pulled over on the way because Down Girl keeps kissing the back of Rruff’s head and he keeps swerving into traffic. While at the beach Down Girl ...more

Great book for first graders who have just learned about inference. Really funny stories, told from perspective of a dog.
I read this book to my daughters and they did not get the humor. By the time I had finished the book, I realized that it is referential humor, like Family Circus, and requires that you have seen dogs doing these behaviors for years and know perfectly well why they do them and can then appreciate the humor in a different motivation being supplied.
I know that was all very abstract. Sorry. What I'm trying to show is that this book will only appeal to readers who are far above its stated...more

Hilarious story about 2 friends, Down Girl and Sit, dogs on a quest to keep squirrels and a cat named Here Kitty Kitty out of their yard and from touching their stuff. Told from her own perspective, Down Girl's dream is to live in the car. After many adventures, her dream finally comes true as (much to the dismay of her master, Rruff) they spend one glorious night in the car. My son laughed out loud at this book and it was fun to see him get some of the erroneous o...more

Lucy Nolan, Down Girl and Sit, vol. 2: On the Road (Marshall Cavendish, 2005)
For some reason I didn't have it marked down on the TBR sheet that On the Road was book two of a series, so I read it without reading #1. Which I find annoying, but On the Road is a good enough stand-alone that if you (or your kid) hasn't read the first, it won't be a big deal. Down Girl and Sit are dogs, who assume those are their names because that's what the human who own them say to them most (Sit is Dow...more

The adventures of a happy-go-lucky Irish Setter (Down Girl) and her best friend (Sit) continue with this breezy stand-alone title. Down Girl provides a "dog's-eye view" of car trips, beaches, campsites, and the mysterious Lady in the White Coat. Copious black-and-white illustrations ensure that the text will not overwhelm new readers.
Great second addition to the Lucy Nolan Series Down Girl and Sit!
A Very funny book written from the perspective of the dogs Down Girl and Sit Who are Best Friends and about their adventures on the Road with their masters !

From the Down Girl and Sit series about two neighbor talking dogs and life as they see it. In this book they go to the beach with their owners. Pretty darn cute.
This series is so cute and funny. I think this was my favorite of the three. The POV (from the dog!) is so spot-on. Great choice for reluctant readers.
Wonderful read for children and adults. I loved it because it really reminded me of our own two dogs.
funny stories! Some of the humor was over Tate's head, but in a year or two he will get a kick out of it.
This is SOOOOOO cool! It was a bluebonnet book, so I read it, and it is AWESOME!
I dont really have nothing to say but just that this book was just ok.
Short, easy fictio-- thought it would annoy me but was actually very cute :)
i love good dog books. this one does not disappoint! very cute.
Hysterical tale told through the persona of a dog.
Such a cute book..."Down, girl" is a great dog!
I would recommend for a school library.
Down Girl and Sit had me laughing.
Fabulous! So funny and entertaining!!

This book is the blubonnet winner (yay!) and it was soooooo cute and good. I lurved it and it only took me around five minutes to read. It was sooo funny and I liked how the "owner" also told her "down girl" ans since he always said that she assumed that was her name! And she kept getting into trouble with her friends, but they thought they were being perfect little dogs. Just saying—you should read it if you have the chance!
Ok here is where I start reading tons of children books! Of course it is for school! I try to read the Blue Bonnet books to my class and this is the first one so far! I have to read light hearted since one of my students mom has a brain tumor!
Funny little book about a dog told from the dog's point of view! Funny how he viewed things so differently than his owner. My kids all seemed to enjoy it and lots of things to write about it!

readers transitioning from picture books to chapter books.
I absolutely love this book. It's a great, fast read for reluctant and slower readers. I really love how Lucy Nolan uses the character names in the dialogue of the story. Some of my students have mentioned that it's hard to get used to reading names like Down Gir, Sit and Ruff in dialogue.
Recommended Ages: 1st - 3rd grade
Down Girl and Sit are on their way to the beach. Down Girl drives a car, chases a cat, and has many other wild, funny adventures.
