Susan Stevens Crummel was one of my favorite authors growing up, I've read multiple of her books and even met her when I was in elementary school! I love how unique the illustrations in this book are. The story is extremely entertaiing and sweet. In the classroom I would use this book to teach conflict resoultion as well as how unique spelling can be used to provide emphasis in stories. ( )

This book is about a sheriff in Dog City who is about to retire but not before he must battle Billy the Kid to protect his little country western town. ( )

This is one of those books I first looked at and thought, "UGH! Too many words!" But, no, the words are all delightful. This book about a dog sherrif who must confront one last villain before he retires begs and begs to be read aloud. The perfect sort of book for a 5-7 year old. ( )
