Mouse and His Dog: A Dogtown Book

Ages 8 to 12

Buster is not a bad dog! All he wants is a forever home. He's a little nervous, a little hyper, and gets distracted easily. Mouse and other inhabitants of the Dogtown shelter (real dogs and robot dogs) try to help Buster improve his behavior. But it's his human reading buddy who may hold the key to Buster going from bad dog to very, very good dog, in this upbeat story about friendship and finding home.

Katherine Applegate and Gennifer Choldenko's debut collaboration, Dogtown, was an instant New York Times and Indie bestseller. This companion story, again illustrated throughout by Wallace West, is a companion Dogtown story, and can be read alone. Full of heart and humor, Dogtown is a place young readers will want to visit again and again.
