What Readers Are Saying
"Fun way for kids to explore Texas!"
"This is such a cute book for kids to learn and explore Texas through a dog's adventures. Highly recommend for all elementary age kiddos!"
Verified Purchase
"A must read!"
"All American swimmers DO have a creative side in both writing & artwork as anyone will enjoy, even if the audience may be younger Texans & wanna-bes learning state history through a dog's eyes. Home schoolers, take note before public school libraries discover and then lump purchase the reserves."
