With a little luck and a pack of pugs, anything is paws-ible! When True Winter comes, its time for the Great Northern Race! The best sled teams in the world must reach a mysterious man called the Snowfather. He will grant one wish to the winners. Young racers Sika and Shen want to win more than anything. But they dont have big sled dogsall they have is sixty-six yappy, yippy puppy pugs. Can this unlikely team make their dreams come true? For early chapter book readers who are ready for something longer, the Not-So-Impossible Tales are packed with humor, action, and color illustrations on almost every page. "A madcap, magical blend of fluff and other good stuff."Kirkus Reviews, starred review From the Hardcover edition.

Thinking of you and Sam today @FantasyChick. This is Wally. He just turned 16 this week. Although I put on a brave face in front of my family, I worry about how much longer we‘ll have him. Going to give him extra belly rubs today! #dogsoflitsy #pugsoflitsy

TheWordJar @squirrelbrain He was very satisfied with his pupcake! 6y
TheWordJar @JoScho He‘s had a very cushy life! 😂 Everytime we tell someone how old he is they can‘t believe it. A bit of arthritis, mostly blind, and all deaf, but otherwise vet says he‘s in good condition! 6y
minkyb I bet he will hang around extra years for those pupcakes! Congratulations to him! 6y
BookMaven407 I have a 13 year old chihuahua and have the same concern with each passing birthday. I started making her a homemade doggie cake every year since she turned 10. 💕🐶 6y
FantasyChick Oh he is precious! I hope he enjoyed his cake. 16 years is amazing and I hope he has many more to enjoy. Our first rescue dog was 18 when he couldn't take any more and we like to believe that his spoiled life was part of the reason he was with is so long. Your boy must be just as spoiled 😉 Thank you so much for sharing this with me today 😘 6y

This book was a pretty cute little read! Some funny and interestingly odd characters & plot twists. My 9yo approved!! Plus I liked the different colored pages and all the illustrations! Recommend for young readers! #youngreaders #kidsoflitsy #winterread #bookreview #illustrations #kidslovebooks

Jeannie I have 9yo too and it‘s fun when we read something we both enjoy. 6y
Coco @Jeannie that‘s awesome that we have kids the same age!! We can definitely swap book ideas! Yay for mom & kid reading pairs ❤️. Girl or boy? 6y
Jeannie Two girls; the other is 16. You? I‘ve been getting lots of graphic novels for them to read. It‘s been fun to give the more adult ones to my teenager and the others to my 9yo. She and I both loved Fish Girl and also Roller Girl this year. And now she‘s on an Olympians kick - graphic novels with Greek gods and goddesses. 6y

Coco @Jeannie That‘s great!! Mines a boy! We adopted about a year and a half ago so I‘m still getting used to being a mom! Reading has been a great connection for the both of us! He really likes the Magic Tree house books but has been wanting to read some graphic novels lately! I‘m going to check into the Olympians!! (edited) 6y
Jeannie That‘s awesome that you found each other 💕 my daughter also likes Magic Treehouse. And both girls like Geronimo Stilton. Has your son tried those? 6y
Coco @Jeannie No he hasn‘t tried those yet!! I‘ll add it to our list of books to check out 😍. A recent book we really enjoyed together was Sidetracked, I read it aloud and it‘s a super cute story to check out! Your older girl may like it too! 6y
Jeannie Thanks, I‘ll check that out. Is it the one by Diana Harmon Asher? 6y
Coco @Jeannie yes it is!! 6y
JenP Have you received the secret Santa kids packet yet? Tracking said it was delivered Monday 6y
Coco Oooo! I haven‘t been to the office to check packages, I will do that tomorrow and let you know!! @JenP I have mine ready to ship Monday on my day off! ❤️ 6y
JenP @Coco thanks! I figured my name is all over the outside so it‘s safe to ask 😂 6y
Sace I'm well beyond the young reader stage but I have to read this for the title alone. 6y
Coco Hahaha @RestlessFickleBookSlut it‘s cute and very funny!! 😝 6y

This Fiction sunshine State Young Readers Award is perfect for story telling in the younger classrooms. It is a funny book about two little kids who decide to enter their 66 pugs in a dog sledding race! They go through lots of crazy adventure and ups and downs in this book! I think it's perfect for storytelling because you can use toys/animals to help act it out! The class will have a ball!

MakennaK I would use UDL 5.2, use multiple tools for construction and composition. This would incorporate into the stuffed animals I will use in storytelling. I will use ELL 14, simplify your speech by making it slower and redundant, when doing the storytelling. 7y
MakennaK https://youtu.be/jx2ne8QvOLo this is a book trailer that I would show my students to get them excited about the story! #ucflae3414f17 7y
Jaquessial This looks like such a great SR book for the class. Story telling with the little dog is so cute. 7y
dakotap Thank you so much for showing the book trailer. It looks like a great book for class and storytelling. 6y
