Young readers will be thrilled to have a chapter book just for them As they follow him through each adventure and devour the delightful vocabulary that is specific without being difficult, readers will discover what this little pup is thinking. Howie experiences many feelings children can relate to as he is confronted by a scary huge dog or teased by some rascal squirrels. Howie demonstrates that positive thinking and a can-do attitude will help everyone enjoy all their life's adventures. Whimsical illustrations add to the comprehension of the journey.
