Sally is going outside…in the snow!

Fluffy tan pup Sally prepares to go outside in the winter weather. First, her tan-skinned little human zips Sally into her puffy pink coat; then she gets one, two, three, four boots on her paws. She snuffles her way to a local park, where other dogs await, all dressed in their own winter gear. No two dogs match; they are as different from each other as the snowflakes. The humans in the park are making snowballs; some balls are big, while others are small. All over the dog park, people make snow dogs in a variety of sizes and shapes. Sally investigates every one with a good sniff. After Sally and her person say goodbye to their friends, they head home. Getting the boots off is harder than putting them on, especially since Sally is tuckered out from their excursion. While her little human reads by the fire, Sally sleeps and dreams of…snow dogs! This third installment in Sally’s adventures is a simple tale of dog and child enjoying an outing in the snow. Young animal lovers will enjoy the sweet story, possibly recognizing their own behavior in the ways the humans care for and love their pets. Lo’s minimal yet colorful digitally created illustrations bring the tale to life. The humans are of many hues, and the dogs of many species.

Another pleasurable doggy day with this lovable pooch.
