1-3Ready-for-Chapters series.
Illustrated by
Jill Pinkwater.
In the newly illustrated Space, Kelly befriends a talking alien dog named Mush and convinces her parents (thinking she's a regular dog) to keep her. In Jazz, Mush recounts how she came to Earth and became involved in a "Musicians of Bremen"-type situation. The writing is fast paced, humorous, and warm-hearted, with simple black-and-white spot illustrations echoing the text. [Review covers these Ready-for-Chapters titles: Mush, a Dog from Space and Mush's Jazz Adventure.]
