Zakari and the Great Puppy Parade

Zakari has a plan. Her little sister Ziyana has just one more thing.Today, Buster the puppy is going to be the most important dog in the backyard. Zakari has drawn the map. Ziyana has found a royal carpet and the perfect parade music-it squeaks! There's just one problem: Buster has plans of his own. Soon, muddy paws and a wobbly cardboard castle turn the girls' grand parade upside down. And when Buster wanders out of sight, the sisters must figure out more than where their puppy went. Can they find a way to lead together? Zakari and the Great Puppy Parade is a warm, funny read-aloud about big imaginations, little mistakes, telling the truth, and making room for each other's ideas. With lively illustrations, grand imagined parades, playful maps, and Kitty the cat to spot along the way, this backyard adventure gives families plenty to enjoy together. Ages 3 to 7. From the author of The Tiger's Missing Stripes.
