Newbery Medal-Winning Author: “A refreshing take on the beloved family pet tale . . . A strong chapter book option for early readers [with] charming characters.” —School Library Journal (starred review)
Meet Barkus. Barkus is loyal. Barkus is generous. Barkus is family.
The exuberant dog named Barkus and his lucky young owner whirl and twirl across the pages of this first book in the delightful series from award-winning author Patricia MacLachlan. The accessible text is ideal for even the newest independent reader, while the warm, humorous story and energetic illustrations will appeal to picture book readers as well.
Praise for the Barkus series
“The charm is infectious.” —The New York Times
“Will appeal to fans of the Henry and Mudge series as well as to the younger picture-book audience.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Fans will be begging for more.”—The Horn Book
