About the Book
Down Girl spends her days protecting her master, Rruff, from Here Kitty Kitty and the neighborhood squirrels. But when Rruff invites Down Girl on a road trip, Down Girl knows she’s in for an even bigger adventure. With her best friend, Sit, along for the ride, the fun really begins. These two dogs never know quite where they’re going, but one thing’s certain. When they hop into a car, they’re sure to drive everyone crazy!

"Children will be delightfully challenged by the perspective and ask for more."
—School Library Journal, March 2006

"There’s a whole lot of skill development going on here, but the stories are so much doggone fun, readers won’t even notice."
—The Horn Book Guide, November/December 2005

"The charming first-canine point of view really works here--partly because Nolan keeps her dog’s voice steady and humorous, and partly because she really seems to think like a dog."
—Kirkus Reviews, September 15, 2005
