Ready or Not, Here Comes Scout

Illustrated by Deborah Melmon
Scout, the lovable puppy of Puppy Diaries fame, stars in her own picture book

Poor Scout. She wants so much to make friends with the other dogs at the dog park. She tries all her best puppy tricks--splashing, playing keepaway--but the older dogs ignore her. At the end of the day, she still has only one friend: her favorite toy, Baby. But Scout is determined to win over the other dogs, and she will, even if she does it in her own special, goofy way.

Sisters Jill Abramson and Jane O'Connor have collaborated on this warm and funny picture book based on Jill's popular New York Times blog and book, Puppy Diaries, and told in Scout's charmingly clueless voice.
Jane O'Connor is the award-wining author of over 100 children's books, including the New York Times best-selling Fancy Nancy series. She lives in New York City. View titles by Jane O'Connor
Praise for Buddy by M.H. Herlong:

"[Scout's]...joyful demeanor speaks volumes about the benefits of learning to make and keep friends." --School Library Journal

"Young storytime listeners will enjoy this book." --Library Media Connection
