I had fun reading about the different dog stories from the W.O.O.F. Society. My favorite chapter was 4 and I also think it was the funniest!
I felt like there were both funny and serious parts.
Misty R.,
ReplyDeleteDog Diaries is a great book! I love that the dogs are the authors who are telling their stories. I don't remember what chapter 4 was about, so I'm going to have to read it again.

claire b i liked aunt eater loves a mystery i likd it because it was about mysteries
ReplyDeleteEmma E.
ReplyDeleteI thought that 'Mercy Watson Fights Crime' was a silly book. Leroy Ninker who wanted to be a cowboy some day, had Butter Barrel candy, and he started chewing on it, and Mercy came down the stairs, because she smelled butter, and Mercy started running around crazy to find the butter.
I read 'Grandpa's Teeth' and it was a good book. When the whole town had to smile, they had a reason, but why didn't Grandpa just buy a new pair of teeth? In the end, Grandpa did get a new pair of teeth, but when the whole family was happy and the family all smiled, the dog was included because the dog stole Grandpa's teeth!

ReplyDeleteDetective LaRue by Mark Teague
An important part of the book was when the police found the missing cats.
The funniest part was when Detective LaRue took a bath with a rubber duck.
Jack J.,
ReplyDeleteDetective LaRue makes my laugh! I love how there are two different kinds of illustrations that tell the story - black and white and then color.
Keep reading,
