Press release from the Chicago Public Library-blog: Mia December 20, 2021 An old joke says that outside of a dog, a book is a person's best friend, and that's because inside of a dog, it's too dark to read. (That joke is even printed on a wall at Harold Washington Library Center and credited to Groucho Marx there. The truth is nobody knows for sure who created it!) Now that the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show is happening soon, you might want a combination of the two! Take a look at this list of my favorite books about dogs for beginning readers. The Barkus series is a wonderful new set of books with short stories about a big energetic dog named Barkus and his little girl human. The pair share all sorts of adventures in the home and with the rest of their family. They're a lot of fun to read about--you can start from the beginning with the first book, Barkus!

The King and Kayla series will test your wits, warm your heart and make you laugh! The first book in the series is King & Kayla and the Case of the Secret Code.

But the cat on the page isn't a cat, it's a dog! Poor Max is annoyed that this book won't stop calling him a cat. There's no cat in this book...or is there? See the Cat is a laugh-out-loud reader with three stories about Max, who isn't a cat no matter what the text wants to say. Just wait until you're supposed to see the snake!
