Tippy Lemmey

After reading Tippy Lemmey, my eight-year-old decided he wanted a chow.

Tippy Lemmey is the only dog Leandra knows with two names, and Tippy Lemmey is a chow.  Not just any chow, but a scary chow.  This dog chases Leandra and her friends whenever they pass by his house.  And his house is between them and their favorite hang-out spot.

Tippy Lemmey by Patricia C. McKissack is about how Leandra, Paul and Jeannie become friends with Tippy Lemmey – after some misunderstanding, a dangerous rescue, and some serious punishment.

Recommended for ages 5 to 9, depending upon their reading level.
