Poodles Don't Play Tennis - Tapa dura

Poodles Don’t Play Tennis is a delightful and silly peek into the “secret lives” of a family’s beloved pets when they cannot be home with them. The “week in the life” approach and whimsical illustrations make this a stellar read-aloud book, to laugh at and to share. Children will delight at being allowed inside the fantastic and very busy life of the poodles and their dog friends. They will get a voyeur’s view of the poodles as they go about their busy week at church, school, a high school football game—and of course, playing tennis.
