Mike Reed.
In four short chapters, Down Girl, a shaggy dog, describes her life with her master Rruff and her next-door neighbor Sit. The dog's-eye view of the world creates amusing misunderstandings as Down Girl does her best to keep the neighborhood safe from squirrels, protect her master from the alarm clock, and deal with strange animals such as the one called "Here Kitty Kitty." Peppy drawings match the tone of the text.
