Summer Reading with Daisy: Good Boy, Fergus!

Today is our first official first day of summer!! My favorite part of summer is having lots of time to read. Our local library, OCPL, has a summer reading program called Paws to Read. Daisy is now old enough to read books instead of chewing them up. So, she is going to review a book every Wednesday from now until the end of August. We hope to introduce you to some new titles or remind you of some previous favorites that you can check out from your local library!

Here we go...
 

"I am so excited to tell you all about the story Good Boy, Fergus! by David Shannon. He also wrote the No, David books.  I heard the word 'no' a lot when I was a baby pup.  Guess what...I still hear it just like Fergus does in the book.  I'm thinking David Shannon's parents told him 'no' a lot and that's why he writes these types of books!

I can really identify with Fergus.  We look the same, have a red collar, and have a lot of similar adventures. The biggest difference is that he's a Westie boy and I'm a Scottie girl.  

Belly rubs?

 Count me in!  They do feel good!

There is even a page I think David Shannon wrote because he was spying on ME!  How else could he know I like to eat daisies? Hmmmmm...

Here I am trying to look just like the cover.  I took all the fluff out of my stuffie and the pillow, so they're not in the picture. I told my peep I was decorating for the last day of school - she didn't believe me.  I know Fergus would believe me...he's probably done the same thing.

When I read this story, I think Fergus is a very well-behaved dog because we do a lot of the same things.  People might believe Fergus is just a little bit stubborn.  Of course he's stubborn, he's a terrier!  It's great to have opinions about what you read, right?!  You'll have to let me know what your opinion is about Fergus.

I think you would really like to read this story about Fergus.  The illustrations have lots of funny details.  There are silly parts, uh-oh parts, and parts that you'll say, "awwwwwww". A really fun fact about every David Shannon book is he has hidden a Fergus somewhere in an illustration!  I'm off to read some more books and will have another great title for you next Wednesday. oxox, Daisy"
