About
the Book
Down Girl and Sit, the lovable duo from
three earlier books, like chasing squirrels and don’t like being fenced
in. When their owners take them to a country ranch, however, Git Along, their
new doggy pal, warns them about life on the other side of a fence. But Down Girl
and Sit can’t resist discovering the dangers of the Wild West for
themselves. As they run free on the prairie, they meet barking squirrels
(prairie dogs), ugly dogs (coyotes), a gasoline-powered bull (truck), and are
almost trampled by a stampede before heading back to the safety of their old
neighborhood.

"Nolan’s simple, peppy text is fun to
read, and kids will enjoy Down Girl’s escapades as well as her endearing
naivete, which is visualized in witty, black-and-white
art."
