1-3Ready-for-Chapters series.
Illustrated by
Susan Keeter.
This easy chapter book features three friends and a seemingly invulnerable villain: the eponymous Tippy Lemmey, new dog in town and terror of the neighborhood. The 1951 small-town-Tennessee setting is evoked naturally through the action, which is constant. This is a terrific read-aloud, but why bother? Get Tippy Lemmey into one kid's hands and it will be a pass-it-on hit.
