Some Things You Will Learn in This Book

Well, that last one might be tricky.
Everyone’s favorite third-grader is back, and this time Grace has
her heart set on one thing and one thing only, a dog to call her
very own. But it’s proving to be quite a challenge.
Grace’s parents aren’t so sure she’s ready for the very big
responsibility of pet ownership. As always, Grace turns to her
oh-so-active imagination to discover a way to prove to Mom and Dad that she’d be an excellent
dog owner, and learns a lot about friends, fun, and dogs in the process.
Whether you’re a dog lover, a parent of a dog lover and wrestling with the big doggie decision, or
an eight-year-old superhero, Just Grace Walks the Dog is sure
to make you smile.
