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.

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.
