The Dream Team (Two of a Kind)

ISBN 0816711542 - Klutzy Missy wagers her beloved dog, Baby, that she can make the soccer team and has to find a way to rise to her own challenge - or poor Baby will have to go live with snobby Stephanie! This a cute little book with a lot of potential for parents who read to or with their kids, or who like to make sure their kids get something out of the books they read. Overcoming obstacles, the negatives of "gambling", not judging a book by the cover and the value of teamwork are all built-in lessons to be learned. Pet owners take extra advantage - make sure your kids know that Baby can eat chocolate because he's not real, but your pets are real and chocolate is very bad for them! That oversight aside, it's a good book for the kids as they begin reading "chapter books". - AnnaLovesBooks
