What this book is about:
Best friends Kate and Lucie love dogs, but because they live in a “no dogs” apartment complex, they cannot have pets of their own. When they find pink dog bone necklaces at the thrift shop, they quickly discover that with a high five and a “woof” they can turn themselves into adorable pooches. The girls have fun and adventures as they move in and out of the canine world.

Why I love this book:
This story was fast paced and funny. While early chapter books rarely make me laugh, this one actually got quite a few chuckles out of me. The writing is good and the illustrations by Heather Ross are a great complement to the story. I can definitely see kids enjoying these books.

Who this book is for:
Great for kids who like dogs and funny books. I was reminded a bit of The Critter Club.

Final thoughts:
Joanna Cole is actually the author of the Magic School Bus series and her experience as a writer for young readers definitely elevates this story.
