K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Diane deGroat.
Basset hound Charlie experiences sledding with his family and puts up with a visiting dog who encroaches on his "personal space" in these two short books. As in his picture book adventures, Charlie's low-key, low-energy approach to life provides fodder for the stories. Here, the quirky narration may frustrate new readers, but DeGroat's friendly illustrations give those readers an able assist. Review covers these I Can Read Book titles: Charlie the Ranch Dog: Charlie's Snow Day and Charlie the Ranch Dog: Where's the Bacon?.
