This Book Just Ate My Dog!

Bella takes her dog for a walk and unexpectedly he disappears into the seam of the book. Rescue workers come to help but when they also disappear, Bella realizes she has to take matters into her own hands, but then she gets eaten by the centerfold, and sends the reader a mayday letter, asking that the book be shaken upside down to release everyone. Everyone eventually returns, but all is not quite normal. This humorous, simple mystery will entertain and engage students and promote critical thinking. Suitable for class libraries, read-aloud, and independent reading, the amount of detail through dialogue and visuals used are perfect for a K-2 audience.
