Synopsis "dogku"

A tale in haikuof one adorable dog.Let's find him a home. Wandering through the neighborhood in the early-morning hours, a stray pooch follows his nose to a back-porch door. After a bath and some table scraps from Mom, the dog meets three lovable kids. It's all wags and wiggles until Dad has to decide if this stray pup can become the new family pet. Has Mooch finally found a home? Told entirely in haiku by master storyteller Andrew Clements, this delightful book is a clever fusion of poetry and puppy dog.

Greg Kenton has always had a natural talent for making money, despite the ongoing, annoying competition from his neighbor, Maura Shaw. Just before sixth grade, Greg makes an amazing financial discovery: almost every kid at school has a quarter or two extra to spend each day. When Greg multiplies the quarters by the number of students, he sees the school differently: it's a huge piggy bank! All he needs is the right hammer to crack it open. Candies and gum? Small toys and gadgets? Sure, kids love buying those at school. But will the teachers and principal allow it? It's not easy. What about selling comics? Comics seem perfect, especially the sturdy, small ones, the Anvil Comics that Greg writes, draws, and edits. Because everyone knows that school encourages reading, writing, creativity, and personal initiative, right? In this fun and timely novel, middle school teacher Andrew Clements once again faithfully reflects life and invites young readers to think about money, school, friendship, and the meaning of success.
