K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Jacqueline Rogers.
Emma brings rowdy but well-meaning Dixie to her track meet and tells the pup to "Sit. Stay. Cheer." Dixie tries to follow Emma's rules, but it's hard when everyone is running--and there are sticks! When Emma drops the baton in a relay race, Dixie joins in to help Emma's team prevail. Watercolor illustrations embody the story's (and Dixie's) spirit.
