NO DOGS ALLOWED

Stephanie Calmenson Joanna Cole

A magical new series from a winning duo of bestselling authors of The Magic School Bus series and other classic children's books.
Kate and Lucie are best friends. Kate is neat and Lucie is messy. Kate wakes up early and Lucie loves to sleep in. But both girls love, love, love dogs! Unfortunately, Kate and Lucie live in apartments where dogs are not allowed. Instead of real dogs, they have dog T-shirts, dog sheets and pajamas, and dog books. But nothing is quite the same as having a real dog. One day, the girls discover sparkly pink dog necklaces at the thrift store and try them on. But when they admire themselves in the mirror and give each other high fives, there is a pop and a whoosh and the girls are turned into dogs! Now it seems like Kate and Lucie won't need their own pet dogs... because they'll be having furry adventures of their own! Stephanie Calmenson and Joanna Cole are friends who have written many children's books individually and as a team, including Give a Dog a Bone and The Gator Girls. Stephanie has written books featuring her dogs, including Rosie, A Visiting Dog's Story and May I Pet Your Dog?, which stars her dachshund, Harry. Joanna is the author of the bestselling and award-winning Magic School Bus franchise, which has been a pillar of Scholastic's success over the past twenty years or more. She received the 1991 Washington Post/ Children's Book Guild Nonfiction award for the body of her work. Stephanie lives in New York City with her husband, Mark, and their dog, Harry. Joanna lives in North Carolina with her husband, Phil, and their two guinea pigs, Chuck and Wee Chuck.

[A] peppy story that takes the notion of dog-loving kids to the extreme. Good-natured banter and silliness move the story along at a brisk pace.

This fun, quick read will have young dog lovers sitting up and begging for the next book in the series.
