A neighborhood dog show is the context for this simple introduction to ordinal numbers. As four canine contestants are called forward to display their talents, the show's emcee describes each pooch as the first, second, third, or fourth performer. Simple diagrams and lighthearted illustrations, featuring clever dogs and their owners, reinforce each term and symbol. Suggestions for related activities are appended.
