Bank Street Ready-to-Read series.
Illustrated by
Jack Ziegler.
Annie wants to buy a pet with her birthday money but spends it all on pet supplies before she ever has the chance. Luckily, adopting a dog from the animal shelter is the perfect solution. Despite the book's institutional look, the breezy, cartoonlike watercolors combine with a text that has just the right pattern of repetition for a reader who has mastered the basics.
