A funny story that would be great for the beginning of school. With humor, Bailey, a dog, goes to school, but is easily distracted. He’s great a digging holes for the school garden and belts out howls in music class. His human classmates genuinely like Bailey and always make sure he’s part of the activities. Great story to ask readers, what could Bailey do to be on time for the bus? 32 pages
