Wallace Willoughbee Wants a Dog Nancy Alexander

Once a year, Wallace gets to spend a week with his Aunt Polly, and it's his favorite week of the year. Aunt Polly lives on a big farm, with lots and lots of dogs. Wallace wants a dog with all his heart, but his mom and dad don't want one. Wallace couldn't wait to tell Aunt Polly about the new program at the animal shelter. He'd seen an ad on TV: the shelter had started a program for kids and parents to volunteer to walk the dogs together. That would be a dream come true! At Aunt Polly's, Wallace helps feed and walk all the dogs every day. He sits in the sun with Snickers every afternoon, and Snickers snuggles next to Wallace every night. But the happy visits always end too soon. Will Wallace ever get the dog of his dreams? Find out in Wallace Willoughbee Wants a Dog, by Nancy Alexander, with full color illustrations by April Pedersen.
