K-3Penguin Young Readers series.
Illustrated by
Rich Davis.
Tiny, a friendly, oversize dog, needs to brush up on "sit," "stay," and "shake," so his boy owner takes him back to Happy Dog School. The accessible vocabulary, large type, short sentences, and emotive art on clean pages work well for beginning readers, who will enjoy the comically large dog's behavioral shift when the teacher arrives with a bag of "Doggie num-nums."
