Description

During a crucial football game, Mike, the quarterback, gets help from his unusual dog, Harry, when his coach gets hurt and cannot call the plays.

Quick Summary

Imagine a football game where the quarterback's dog unexpectedly steps in to call the plays when the coach gets hurt - this swap-the-roles scenario is the kind of funny, unexpected twist kids absolutely devour. Young readers will cheer for Harry the dog as he uses his keen observation skills to help Mike make the right calls, creating laugh-out-loud moments when the team follows a canine's commands on the field. If your child loves books where animals steal the show like in "Dog Man" or enjoys the silly sports vibes of "Captain Underpants and the Tyrannical Retaliation of the Turbo Toilet 2000," they'll absolutely lap this up. This 2,290-word gem is perfect for kids in grades K-2 who are ready for a short, satisfying chapter book with plenty of humor and heart.
