     Today is Tiny’s birthday! His best friend prepares a cake, present, and decorations, all described in simple, easy-to-read vocabulary. Like the previous books in this series about the lovable, oversized dog Tiny, this is a relatable and funny friendship story that beginning readers will be proud to read all by themselves.

    “Add Tiny to the roll call of great dogs in children’s literature: Ribsy, Martha, Carl, Mudge. He may just wind up being a young reader's best friend.”—The Horn Book on Tiny Goes to the Library

    Cari Meister lives in Minetrista, Minnesota. View titles by Cari Meister

In Tiny On the Farm, it is his hope that kids will fall in love with life on the farm too! Rich is also the illustrator of Firefighters to the Rescue (Viking). View titles by Rich Davis
