All Aboard Reading: Barkers

All Aboard Reading: Barkers series.
When Morgie's favorite dinosaur toy disappears, he assumes that his friend Billy has borrowed it without asking, and he angrily demands its return--to no avail. Then Morgie gets home from school and learns that his brother has actually borrowed it. DePaola's signature pastel-colored illustrations perfectly capture the plausible emotions of his all-animal cast, especially during Morgie's apology.

All Aboard Reading: Barkers series.
These easy-to-read books feature dog twins, Moffie and Morgie. In Boss, pushy Moffie agrees to let Morgie be the boss for once--and she shows him exactly how to do it. In Hide-and-Seek, the twins and their friends argue about the rules of the game for so long that they never get to play. Familiar dePaola illustrations make these mildly amusing stories appealing. [Review covers these Barkers titles: Boss for a Day, Hide-and-Seek All Week.]
