4 ⭐ . This book was lovely. It rhymes; it has a nice cadence. It keeps things simple. It just works on every level. The illustrations are what they need to be and show diversity so this book can be used in many places. Overall, I really like this book, and I would use it for story time repeatedly. As for a celebrity author, I think she had help.

This one was new to me & so adorable! The twins have to earn their own money if they want to go visit Great Aunt Helen, so they decide to start a dog-walking business. Jess shirks her responsibilities but Ken, who loves dogs but isn‘t allowed to have one, is thrilled to help. They get an opportunity to earn more money when Mr. Quincy brings his dog, Joe, for them to watch for a week. Joe is a Samoyed & is covered in cuts & bruises. The twins &⬇️

JenlovesJT47 Ken scheme to keep Joe from going back to Mr. Quincy. They tell him he ran away but they really took him to Ken‘s cousin‘s ranch. But their secret is out when Joe runs away & runs straight back to the Wakefields where Mr. Q is waiting. Mr. Wakefield puts him in his place in spectacular fashion & scares him away, once the kids tell their parents about Joe‘s abuse. And bonus: Ken gets to keep Joe at his house! So cute. 5⭐️ (edited) 2mo

TorieStorieS New to you! This was one that I remembered well, but had so much fun revisiting! Now I‘m in the later ones in the series and they are all new to me which is a different kind of fun! 2mo

JenlovesJT47 @TorieStorieS we had opposite experiences because I started reading them around number 65 and read all of the ones up through the early 100‘s. So fun! 2mo

TorieStorieS It‘s fun to have someone to chat with about reading them, though! 2mo
