Customer Reviews

Great book for young readers!

This is an adorable book from the first sentence in which the lead canine character declares "My name is Down Girl". My young reader doesn't always like it when I tell her it's time to read, but she can't wait to get back to this book. She reads it out loud to me and we laugh together. Any book that can encourage a desire to read is a winner in my eyes! I will be looking for other stories from this author!

On The Road with Down Girl and Sit

Any dog lover can identify with this book. It is written from the dog's point of view. She thinks her name is Down Girl, and her best friend is Sit. They really don't like Here Kitty, Kitty, who lives behind them. I found it to be hilarious, and I've read it over and over, just for the laughs.

Another great "Down Girl & Sit" book

This is the 2nd book Lucy Nolan has written from the viewpoint of a dog "Down Girl". It is just as funny & clever as the first. A very enjoyable read-aloud for all ages. You will laugh.
