Her books include Worm Pie and Wonder Dog . Beverly and her family live in Bright's Grove, Ontario. This is what happens to Kirby in my new book Wonder Dog . Kirby wants a dog more than anything. When her parents say no, Kirby just tries harder to convince them.
Problem is, nothing works.
So, when Kirby finds a lovable stray, she pretends the dog is hers. One itty-bitty lie leads to another and another until . . . I think dogs make great pets, but so do lots of other animals. This past Easter, my nephews, Tom and David, got a baby rat named Bunny. With a name like that, I wouldn't be surprised if she grew long ears and sprouted a cotton tail by next Easter.
