In this sequel to the absolutely wonderful "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate focuses on the family's energetic little pup, Dave. He is full of joy, and delights the family, but his zest for life becomes a bit taxing when he knows no boundaries and races through people's picnics in the park, jumps on laps and eats cupcakes when guests come to dinner, and is generally a wild thing. The family can't seem to say "NO!" firmly enough, so they hire a dog trainer. (The ad for the dog tra

I just finished reading "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate and I adored it. This is the sequel to that book.
This one wasn’t quite a good as the first, but it was still charming.
This book is funny, sweet, has lovely sensibilities, and is just a great story.
For me, there was one flaw. I worried tremendously for several pages because of a dog training method employed, one too harsh. Luckily, the author feels the way I do about rough treatment of dogs. But, a More...

I love Bob Graham's illustrations so much and they definitely don't disappoint in this sequel to "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate. The illustrations alone are worthy of 5 stars, in my opinion, since they're just so gosh darn adorable. The positions of Rosy the dog especially. I'm also a huge fan of the non-traditional way Bob portrays his families. Pierced and tattooed Mom and pierced converse shoe wearing Dad. I imagine my family would look very similar, which is refreshing to see in

We were able to borrow this book and "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate together from our library, so we were excited to read them back to back. While I preferred the first story, it was great to see the family all together again in the second. And the trouble they experience with Dave and trying to teach him some obedience lessons is all-too familiar for many families. Since we're a military family, we thought Brigadier was hilarious. Overall it was an entertaining story and we enjoyed

A funny book on the challenges of dog ownership.
This book is a sequel to Let's Get a Pup!. Bob Graham needs to learn from Lynley Dodd or Eric Hill on how to effectively create sequels and series in childrens' books. Bob provides an extensive summary of the first book in this sequel - it really just isn't neccessary!
Other than this little niggle it is great to continue contact with Rosie and Dave's family. More...

Sequel to Let's Get a Pup! Said Kate. Their puppy has lots and lots of energy but when they hire someone to train the pup and the trainer is really strict and mean, the family learns that they like their puppy the way he is.
