Charlie the Ranch Dog: Charlie's New Friend

Description

Ree Drummond, the Pioneer Woman and #1 New York Times bestselling author of Charlie the Ranch Dog, is back with a new I Can Read story featuring our favorite bacon-loving basset hound. Charlie the Ranch Dog may have met his match in Mr. Rabbit, a sneaky ranch animal that steals from Mama's garden. Charlie tries to think up ways to stop the rabbit from eating up all the yummy carrots, but Mr. Rabbit always seems to be one step ahead! Charlie's New Friend is a Level One I Can Read book, which means it's perfect for children learning to sound out words and sentences. With expressive illustrations by acclaimed artist Diane deGroat and Charlie's hilarious antics, this I Can Read story will become a favorite of parents and beginning readers.

The child of an orthopedic surgeon, Ree Drummond enjoyed the standard suburban lifestyle. She went to college at USC, stayed in LA, and loved life as a heels-wearing, surfer-dating vegetarian. That all changed when she met Marlboro Man and became a ranch wife and mother. Since then, she has created an enormously successful blog, The Pioneer Woman, which documents her hilarious transition from city life to ranch wife. Her site won two 2008 Bloggies-Best Food Blog and Best Writing of a Weblog-and was the winner of a 2007 "Best Kept Secret" Bloggie Award. The site was also nominated for a number of Bloggers' Choice Awards, including Best Humor Blog, Best Photography Blog, and Best Blog of All Time. Ree is 30-something and very attractive and promotable; she's featured in the November 2007 issue of Tulsa People. She lives on a huge cattle ranch near Pawhuska, OK, with her husband and their four children.
