Hi everyone!!!!

Did you know we are in the Dogs Days of Summer?  I looked it up to see what the internet said about it and I found out it is a slang expression for days of intense heat during the last part of summer.  I don't know about where you are but here where I am it is going to be 96 degrees F here today.  So I do believe we are in the Dogs Days of Summer. So I hope if you live in the Northern Hemisphere that you will be able to keep cool.  It always seems to be hot when school starts again. Thank goodness for  air conditioning !!!!!

Since it is the Dog Days of Summer I thought I would share some dog books today and next week.  All children love books about dogs.  I love them too and movies too.  So check out a book about dogs this weekend and watch a good dog movie.  I will list a few at the end of this post.

Fun Dog, Sun Dog

by

Deborah Heiligman

This book is a really cute rhyming book about  Tinka.  Tinka is a sweet dog,a treat dog, a jumping up to greet dog.  Tinka and her master, a young boy go to the beach for the day and the author makes this a fun book and a sweet book about Tinka, the sandy golden retriever. The little boy and Tinka have all kinds of fun at the beach and read to find out what happens to Tinka near the end of the story.  

I really enjoyed this book and so will young children.

Great book about a sweet dog.

I also found two more dog books by Deborah Heiligman.  Check them out at your local library too.
