I watch Ree Drummond on the Food Network Channel but didn't realize she also write children's books. This is such a cute story about a Basset Hound, (named after Ree's dog, Charlie), and his longing to become a Rock Star.

These are some of mine and my kids favorite books. Charlie the Ranch Dog is quite the character and we love all the adventures he gets into. This book is no exception. It was fun to see him transform into a Rock Star!

Charlie tries to act like a "rock star" dog he saw on TV. He soon learns that persona doesn't function well on a ranch and goes back to being himself.

One day when Charlie was watching tv with the family a dog with glasses came on. Charlie the dog was so excited that he wanted to be a rockstar dog as well.

Charlie the Ranch Dog was looking sharp!
He said, “Don’t forget to put a bacon in my mouth!”
That chipmunk was really sneaky.
Charlie said, “Ouch!”

This beginning reader geared towards new readers ready for simple sentences features Charlie, the beloved basset hound of the Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond. In his latest adventure, Charlie decides to leave behind his job as a ranch dog and become a rock star. But settling into his new lifestyle proves to be harder than it looks, and Charlie decides that being a bacon-loving ranch star suits him better. The plot is a bit thin, but young readers will likely appreciate Charlie's antics.
