Stan the Dog And the Major Makeover
Scoular Anderson (2006), 52 pages
Illustrated by Scoular Anderson
Audience: 1st Grade - 3rd Grade
Dog lovers who are brand new to chapter books will love this silly story about Stan the Dog and his adventures with his family and his neighborhood dog rival, Beastly. Stan gets himself into too many scrapes, so 'Can Opener' (the name Stan uses to refer to the mom of the family, who opens his cans of dog food for him) decides it's time to give him a makeover. Will grooming and obedience training turn Stan into the dog his family wants him to be? Cartoons throughout the text make this a quick, fun read.

Superdog: The Heart of a Hero
Caralyn Buehner (2004), 32 pages
Illustrated by Mark Buehner
Audience: Preschool - 2nd Grade
Dexter is a little dog. He is often overlooked, except when Cleevis, the tomcat, demonstrated how he could stand right over Dexter and not even ruffle his fur. Everything is little about Dexter, except for his dreams: Dexter wants to be a superhero. He enthusiastically prepares for the task: exercising, reading, and finding a costume. Almost immediately, Dexter is thrown into the job. When he saves Cleevis, the tomcat, who is stuck in a tree, the two animals form a new partnership with double the brains and triple the muscle.
