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.
The popular Down Girl and Sit stories were inspired by Lucy
Nolan’s two setters, Nutmeg and Becky. The second book in the series,
On the Road
,
recently won the Texas Bluebonnet Award, given to a children’s book that
won the most votes from children in the Lone Star state.
