JACK RUSSELL DOG DETECTIVE #5 The Awful Pawful

Jack Russell, dog detective, has the neighborhood well under surveillance, or so he thinks. One fine day, when he finds no dogs out and about, he decides it is his mission to determine what creature is terrorizing (or "terrier-izing"--in dogspeak) the neighborhood such that no dog, or cat, will leave home. Alan King takes the animal world to heart and to voice. He is a boisterous and authoritative Jack--until the Awful Pawful has Jack "terrier-fied." King's neighborhood dogs are portrayed playfully and distinctly, and his scared/angry dog and cat sound effects will make any dog, cat, or human cringe. Each chapter's endnotes become a way of confirming the young listener's understanding of dogspeak in the preceding segment. A.R. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 07/ JAN 08]
