Editorial Reviews

School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—Charlie is a happy hound, the "boss" of his ranch, until another dog comes to visit and invades his territory. Rowdy eats his food, drinks his water, and even gets tummy rubs from his "mama." Charlie tolerates these affronts until he discovers Rowdy sleeping in his bed. That is the last straw. Charlie howls and scares the interloper right out the door and into the doghouse. However, instead of feeling better, Charlie realizes that Rowdy might be lonely out there and decides to go and share a bone with him. This early reader concludes with the dogs becoming friends and showing children that sometimes sharing can make a real difference. This book has a solid story line and the delightful illustrations work well. It supports Common Core State Standards by providing new readers with strong content to support key ideas and details. An appealing additon to most beginning-reader collections.—Melissa Smith, Royal Oak Public Library, MI

Kirkus Reviews

Basset hound Charlie learns to share with a visiting yellow Lab named Rowdy in this mildly entertaining early reader. Charlie has previously starred in several picture books about his life on the ranch owned by author Drummond. This offering for beginning readers, the first in a series, uses Drummond's characters and deGroat's illustration style from the previous picture books, although the text and illustrations here are done by others (presumably the Amanda Glickman and Rick Whipple "gratefully acknowledge[d]" on the copyright page). The slight plot involves a visit from Rowdy, who is (of course) a boisterous sort whose personality doesn't mesh well with the laconic basset hound. Rowdy takes over Charlie's food and bed, invades his "personal space" and cozies up to Charlie's owner. After Rowdy is banished to an outside doghouse, Charlie takes pity on him and invites him inside to share the sofa for a nap. The illustrations help convey the canine personalities through amusing expressions on the dogs' faces, and Charlie's little chipmunk friend is hidden on each spread for young readers to find. Fans of Charlie's previous picture books will like reading more about his life on the ranch, but others might concur with Rowdy as he naps on the sofa: "Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz." (Early reader. 5-8)
