Kate Foster: Harriet Hound, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"An early chapter book with wonderful autism representation, it is also a hoot and a half. Harriet's adventures are engaging and informative, and readers who love canines will gobble up the facts while cheering on this pint-sized Sherlock." ---Booklist (starred review)

Meet Harriet Hound. She's eight years old, lives in Australia, is autistic, and LOVES dogs! But Harriet has something else that makes her super: the power to summon the dogs from her family's rescue shelter every time there's trouble afoot. Whether it's a carnival catastrophe, a sudden storm, or vanishing vegetables, Harriet and her best dog friends use their talents and problem-solving skills to help out. Just like Harriet herself, every dog has its own special strengths---like Greta the German shepherd, who is an excellent watchdog, and Hans and Helm the huskies, who are great at pulling carts. Even Bob the bulldog gets called to action when Harriet's classmates need a dog who is slow and calm to help them walk carefully through the mud and not be afraid of a rainstorm. Harriet's infectious enthusiasm, along with plenty of lists, dog facts, dynamic text design, and even a guide to rescuing a dog, make this a superpowered read.
