An energetic little dog wants to go on an adventure-- and make new friends along the way. Come along with Pug in this Guided Reading Level C story, perfect for beginning readers to read on their own!

Looking out the window, Pug sees Peg taking a walk one snowy morning. He wants to join her! But no matter how much he yap, yap, yaps, no one wants to take him outside. Mom is too comfortable, and Dad is too tired from shoveling. 

That just leaves Tad, who's still asleep. But Pug knows just how to wake him up-- "Yap, yap, yap!" Tad doesn't want to get up-- but once they're out on their walk, he has to agree it was a very good idea.

Theodor Geisel Award-winner Ethan Long uses his trademark wit and energy to make this simple story for the newest readers memorable and hilarious.  Very simple text paired with expressive, bright illustrations makes this a perfect book for young children to read on their own. 

The award-winning I Like to Read® series focuses on guided reading levels A through G, based upon Fountas and Pinnell standards.  Acclaimed author-illustrators--including winners of Caldecott, Theodor Seuss Geisel, and Coretta Scott King honors—create original, high quality illustrations that support comprehension of simple text and are fun for kids to read with parents, teachers, or on their own!
 
For readers who've mastered basic sight words, Level C books feature slightly longer sentences and a wider range of high-frequency words than Level B books. Level C books are suitable for mid-to-late kindergarten readers.  When Level C is mastered, follow up with Level D
Ethan Long won the the Theodor Seuss Geisel Award for Up, Tall and High! one of the many humorous books he wrote and illustrated for children. His Emmy-nominated television series Tasty Time with ZeFronk runs on the Disney Channel. He lives in Orlando, Florida.
★ "'Yap yap yap' has never been so expressive or so insistent. . . . New readers will be happy to yap along with this pup."—Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review

"It's sure to delight pug owners and Long's many fans.  A fun story for beginning readers, with a supersimple vocabulary."—School Library Journal
