An energetic little dog sets off on the chase of his life — but wanders a little too far — in this beguiling new story from the creator of FRANCIS THE SCAREDY CAT.
For Scoot, Sally’s beloved dog and friend, every day is an adventure, running, jumping, and playing together in the backyard. But one day Scoot spies a red balloon. Could it be his ball floating over the fence? And suddenly he’s on the other side and out in the big wide world! Scoot has so much fun finding smells and sights, and chasing sheep and seagulls, that he even forgets about Sally until — wait, just how far away from home is he?
This is a sweet and entertaining story about a dog who has a bit of an adventure. The narrative is short and fun to read aloud and the illustrations are colorful and cartoonish. We enjoyed reading this book together.
I liked when the dog made friends and they played together. And I liked when the dog ran faster and faster and faster and jumped over the gate as high as he could and jumped right into Sally's arms.
