Charlie the Ranch Dog

Title: Charlie the Ranch Dog
Author: Ree Drummond
Illustrator: Diane deGroat
Picture Book

 
     Charlie tells the story about how he has to work so hard on the ranch and that his friend Suzie doesn't have to do much.  It is a silly little story as the pictures show what really happens and the words just tell Charlie's side.  He goes through the day, doing what he thinks is a lot but what appears to be not much at all, he gets tired and hungry often.  There is one point in the day where Charlie is able to be a big help, but I'm not sure it is noticed.  Young children will really enjoy this fun silly book that has beautiful and entertaining pictures to go along with it.  This book would be completely different without the accompanying illustrations to really narrate the story.  I enjoyed reading this book as much as I enjoyed the pictures.
