Two dogs named Down Girl and Sit go out west with their owners and meet barking squirrels (prairie dogs), ugly dogs (coyotes), and a gasoline-powered bull (a truck). Told from a canine point of view, this fourth book in the Down Girl and Sit chapter book series by Texas Bluebonnet Award winner Lucy Nolan is filled with humor.
Author Lucy Nolan, a former journalist, is the author of the picture books The Lizard Man of Crabtree County, an ABA Kids’ Pick of the Lists, and Jack Quack as well as the Down Girl and Sit chapter books. She lives in Columbia, South Carolina.
