Barkus series.
Illustrated by
Marc Boutavant.
In this sophisticated early-reader series' second installment, smart and friendly canine Barkus and his family (including the little-girl narrator) engage in everyday adventures in their rural community: Barkus recovers from illness, saves a floating balloon, helps a farmer, trades toys with a neighbor dog, and dreams during a thunderstorm. Lush-hued illustrations support beginning readers; short sentences using substantial dialogue and repetition set a comfortable pace in each of five chapters.
