Home by Rosemary

The white terrier who found a
home with Fred and Lucy in McDuff Moves In gets lost again when he

motorcycle and is driving him into town, when McDuff recognizes the
smells, the sounds, and the sight of home. All four characters enjoy a

McDuff Goes to School
by Rosemary Wells, Susan Jeffers |
It's off to dog-training class for everyone's favorite Westie.
McDuff hits it off with the new neighbors' dog, Marie, but makes
no points with Marie's French-speaking owners when he won't get off of their
sofa; he is enrolled in school to learn basic commands. Readers get a few lessons,
too, in the French words for sit, stay, come and heel
along with a fun twist at the end.

Tucker Flips by Leslie McGuirk |
One night..." this small story begins,
soft snowflakes fell and Tucker the adventurous westie was born. Sometimes
he dives off the couch and lands on a pillow; sometimes he hops on a
skateboard all by himself. One winter day he meets some children and hops
on their sled. The sled takes off, hits a bump, and Tucker does a flip.
Was he scared? Not Tucker; he's the adventurous one. A small, artless
introduction to a terrier with an independent spirit.
