Three Friends On An Adventure With The Dog BO

This Book is special to me because it involves my son Horace Glass III and two friends. By getting to know Lynn Simmons in Argyle she asked to use Horace in the book. The three friends have different interests and by spending time with BO he takes each of them on an exhausting adventure. I think you will enjoy it!

Great Read!

We loved this book! Great as a Read Aloud or on their own for a more 'advanced' reader. My oldest daughter read this collection of books in 2nd Grade. She continues to re-read them from time to time.
