Putting a fear to rest

Sara Barker is afraid of dogs. Whenever she sees even a picture

of one, she feels clammy and cold all over. So what's Sara to do

when she learns that her new next-door neighbor owns two of

them? Two young and big dogs, to be specific. Her neighbor

turns out to be an ebullient older woman who befriends Sara

and promises her dogs will keep their distance. But one day a

situation arises in which Sara is forced to venture into the yard

next door, even as the dogs there are desperately barking.

Kids will relate to Sara, and dog-lovers will enjoy seeing her

overcome her fears in this easy-to-read chapter book, with

numerous cheerful pictures.
