Description

A boy's dingo has gone missing, and he wonders where his dingo could possibly be.

Quick Summary

If your kid loves animals and a little bit of silly mystery, "Where Did My Dingo Go?" is a quick, fun pick. A little boy wakes up to find his dingo has vanished, and the hunt to figure out where that mischievous dog ran off to is equal parts adorable and laugh-out-loud funny. The short sentences and low AR level make it perfect for early readers who are building confidence, but the humor also works as a read-aloud for younger kids who just want to listen. It's not scary at all more cozy chaos than anything and there's a sweet little lesson tucked in there about where our pets actually go when we can't find them (hint: usually somewhere obvious and silly). Kids who adore dogs, or anyone who's ever lost a favorite stuffed animal and frantically searched the house, will immediately connect with this one. If your reader enjoyed "Dog Gone" by Stuart Anderson or any silly pet-themed early readers, this fits right into that wheelhouse. At just 224 words, it's the kind of book a kid can actually finish and feel proud of on their own.
