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!
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 the children’s book that
won the most votes from children in the Lone Star state.
