About
the Book
Down Girl and Sit are "smarter than
squirrels." They know how to protect their masters from all the things that
can go wrong in the neighborhood: They bark at paperboys and guard the garbage
cans and keep mischievous squirrels at bay. But when Here Kitty Kitty moves in
next door, their daily routines are turned topsy-turvy. Filled with humor and
adventure, this illustrated chapter book takes a look at life in the backyard
from the well-intentioned but misguided viewpoint of man’s best
friend.
