K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Aleksey Ivanov
&
Olga Ivanov.
Flappy, a collie, and Scrappy, who looks like a mutt, star in three short stories. In the first, Flappy, misunderstanding the farm animals' mouths-full-of-food greetings, thinks she's being made fun of; in the second, she tries to play catch; then Scrappy's in for a surprise on his birthday. The texts use gentle humor, and the illustrations have an eye-pleasing, pastoral sensibility.
