No Dogs Allowed!

by Sonia Manzano

No Dogs Allowed! Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Sometimes the unexpected is even more fun than the best-laid plans. Iris, her family, the neighbors, and dog take a road trip to the lake. But first, the cars break down. Then they get lost. And when they finally arrive at the lake, they see a NO DOGS ALLOWED sign. What to do? Iris's family's make-do attitude saves the day, for as they go about their beach activities while trying to figure out what to do with the dog, each takes a turn taking care of the dog. Soon the day is over, and the dog has had the best time of all — the beach had been brought to him. Sesame Street's Sonia Manzano's first picturebook provides an ocean of humor, a warm, close-knit Puerto Rican community, and a take-charge family who refuses to let things get in their way!

Review:

"[An] effervescent tale." — Kirkus Reviews

Synopsis:

From the actress/writer best known as Maria on "Sesame Street" comes her picture-book debut that tells of a close-knit Puerto Rican family who heads out for a day at the lake with their family pet, only to find out that dogs are not allowed on the beach. Full color.

Synopsis:

This is Iris.

And this is her family:

Shorty the Fortune-teller,Mami the Busy, Papi the Clever, Carmen the Beautiful, plus the Wise Old People, Don Joe the Grocer, and, of course, El Exigente, the Dog (who's very good at sleeping).

Everyone, especially El Exigente, is excited to go to the lake...but will they EVER get there?
