Boomer Goes to School
PreSchool-Grade 1?Boomer, a big, affable golden retriever, is unaware as the day begins that he is his young owner's show-and-tell subject. The dog loves a good adventure, but finds the school bus a bit noisy. At school, the canine is unleashed and left to his own devices while the children engage in their regular activities. Overeager Boomer experiences all the joys of school life such as "toys to share...pictures to paint...games to play...and best of all...lunch!" The story is delightful and has a good read-aloud text. Whyte's vivid, detailed watercolors bring readers into the modern classroom. Though the children are preoccupied, readers see exactly what Boomer is up to. There is definitely more animation here than in the author's Boomer's Big Day (Chronicle, 1994).?Susan Garland, Maynard Public Library, PACopyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
