Book Description

Through the Rug
The dogcatcher returns for Grandma Emma's dog Domino, or is it the rug he's after? Grandma and ten-year-old Alyssa follow Domino through the rug, back to Wishville where all wishes are granted. Domino outsmarts the dogcatcher, and makes sure things don't turn out well for a bank robber with a bag full of money. Alyssa falls into the nest of a strange bird, and Grandma's most embarrassing moment is broadcast on national television. Rub your return token and come to Wishville for more fun adventures and magical mishaps. Follow That Dog is a winning recipe for fun.

4.0 out of 5 stars Ruff and Run, August 22, 2008
This review is from: Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Volume 2) (Paperback)
When we last saw Alyssa, she was recovering from what her newly-minted Magician grandmother had done to her dog Domino. Domino once again takes center stage when Alyssa and her grandmother spot the dog catcher chasing him. They will need to enter the portal to Wishville (a very special kitchen rug), once again heading to the place where magical powers abound and intriguing adventures are the order of the day. In this second title, Grandma and Alyssa continue their adventures in Wishville.

This book is a zany and fun-filled sequel to Through the Rug. It is a well-crafted, fun read for adolescents. The author knows her audience and provides them with bizarre, imaginative, and zany plots and characters.

Pre-teens (10- to 12-year-olds) will enjoy this book. Grandma, her eccentricities, the supporting cast of real and magical players, and imaginative sub-plots will keep the reader turning the page and laughing.

Through the Rug has a lot to teach about positive thinking. It is a great book for children to read! Through the Rug teaches that it is always better to be happy than angry or bitter.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun sequal to Through the Rug, January 29, 2008
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Through The Rug: Follow That Dog (Volume 2) (Paperback)
I was excited to read about what troubles Grandma and Alyssa would get into next; so when I found out about a second book I couldn't wait to read it.
Grandma Emma and Alyssa followed Domino (a dog) once again on a crazy journey Through the rug. They get to a town called Wishville by jumping into a green slimey glob that was spilled on the rug on accident in the first book. Wishville is a town where all wishes come true. When you want to leave all you have to do is wish for a return token and poof it appears. Grandma Emma and Alyssa are once again chasing Domino. Fireworks prevented them from wishing for the dog when they first arrived because they knew it would scare him. Things get a little crazy when people from the outside find some of the retun tokens and apear in wishville, making it difficult to get Domino. I love reading about wishville because anything is possible. I had to laugh at some of the impossible events that happened, like when Alyssa fell and a bird caught her. Laughter is of no shortage in this book. There are times where the characters will get into trouble but luckly they are saved by making wishes. Who doesn't want all thier wishes fullfilled. I loved reading about Grandma Emma's and Alyssa's magical dream world and it got me thinking if I could wish for anything what would it be?
