Kate and Lucie are best friends. Kate is neat and Lucie is messy. Kate wakes up early and Lucie loves to sleep in. But both girls love, love, love dogs!

Unfortunately, Kate and Lucie live in apartments where dogs are not allowed. Instead of real dogs, they have dog T-shirts, dog sheets and pajamas, and dog books. But nothing is quite the same as having a real dog.

One day, the girls discover sparkly pink dog necklaces at the thrift store and try them on. But when they admire themselves in the mirror and give each other high fives, there is a pop and a whoosh and the girls are turned into dogs!

Now it seems like Kate and Lucie won't need their own pet dogs . . . because they'll be having furry adventures of their own!

Industry Reviews

Good-natured banter and silliness move the story along at a brisk pace. "Publishers Weekly" ...bouncy, rhyming verse and an innovative cast of characters give this counting book zip ... Only after many rereadings will little ones get their fill. "Publishers Weekly on DINNER AT THE PANDA PALACE" Rosie's real-life adventures make for one of the outstanding nonfiction titles of the year. "Smithsonian Magazine on ROSIE - A VISITING DOG'S STORY" Required reading for every dog lover! "Lisa Von Drasek, Children's Librarian, Bank Street College on MAY I PET YOUR DOG?" ...fanciful yet scientifically accurate romp" in which "weighty information is buoyantly supported by energetic, cartoony illustrations. "PW, starred review on THE MAGIC SCHOOL BUS ON THE OCEAN FLOOR" Cole's lively text, with examples drawn from daily life, presents some quite complicated scientific information about how the five senses work. "Booklist on YOU CAN'T SMELL A FLOWER WITH YOUR EAR" Cole has successfully captured the youngsters' voices, making it easy for readers to identify with them. "School Library Journal on I'M A BIG BROTHER""
