Young Nicky is excited to introduce you to a new member of her family: meet Barkus! When her Uncle Everton gives her Barkus, he promises Nicky that Barkus is the "smartest dog in the whole world." And he's charming, too... how else could he follow her to school, and instead of getting kicked out, become the class dog? In fact, he just might be the friendliest, most loyal, and best dog ever.... and he and Nicky are sure to have plenty of adventures.
In this illustrated chapter book series opener, young readers meet Barkus and follow along through five stories, from his arrival in Nicky's family to befriending a pet kitten to helping Nicky conquer her fear of the dark. Short sentences are perfect for newly independent readers, while cheerful and cartoony illustrations add visual interest. For anyone who has ever dreamed of having the perfect dog, Barkus is the perfect book.
