K-Gr 2—Charlie is at it again in this installment of the delightful series. In this latest book, Charlie finds himself in a rather unpleasant mess while trying to help his friend Abigail. Although he is calm, cool, and collected, unlike many other cattle dogs, he finds his way into trouble nonetheless. However, Charlie is always happy to help on the farm no matter what the job. On this particular day, the family is headed out to take the cattle to greener pastures. Will Charlie find his way out of trouble in time to make it home for his all-time favorite slice of bacon? Simple sentences and high-interest content help developing readers stay engaged. The language is ideal for helping students sound out words and sentences.
VERDICT This beginning reader will be a great addition to any elementary school library collection.
