K-3Kids Can Read series.
Illustrated by
Marisol Sarrazin.
In both books, Sam the puppy thinks she will have fun playing human games (like dress-up in Next Door and sandcastle-building in Seaside) but realizes that puppy pursuits are best for her. The pastel illustrations accompanying the somewhat choppy texts range from serviceable to cutesy. Early readers who love dogs may be entertained by Sam's adventures. Review covers these Kids Can Read titles: Sam at the Seaside and Sam Goes Next Door.
