Dixie audiobook

Adorable!

i think as a kid i read all these books, now as an adult i enjoy picking them up again, through KU. wish it was sized better though??! i loved it ...great illustrations. like i always say i am reading through KU ...but the illustrations are only in the middle of the book, kindle screen so it really makes them quite small. wish the took up the full screen. must read if you are reading a real hand held book.

Dixie, a floppy-eared puppy, waits for Emma to come home from school every day so they can play together. When Emma gets the part of Dorothy in the class play, she doesn't have as much time for Dixie, so the puppy misbehaves in order to get attention. She still proves her true friendship to Emma, however, by comforting her when she worries about forgetting her lines and sharing the spotlight as Dorothy's dog, Toto.This is primarily a story of friendship between a girl and her dog. Though Emma is frustrated with herself for not feeling confident in her lines, and sometimes takes it out on Dixie, she still loves her puppy. And though Dixie doesn't fully understand why it's not okay to make messes and steal Emma's ruby red slippers, she forgives Emma when she begins to understand what she's going through, and even takes steps to help her feel better.This book will definitely appeal to new readers who have or wish to have dogs of their own. Girls or boys can easily relate to Dixie's hi-jinks, but I think girls, in particular, will be drawn to the pinkness of Emma's bedroom and those sparkly red shoes.The text itself includes great action words, like grabbing, tipping, leaping, chewing, and chomping that give the story lots of life. The illustrations, too, contribute to the reader's experience of Dixie's puppy behavior. The plot wasn't as exciting as it might have been. There is a bit of drama when Dixie steals one of the ruby slippers, but it's resolved very quickly and easily, as are most of the story's problems. It's definitely a gentle story that will work well for kids who like calm, quiet, feel-good tales. For kids seeking more adventure and excitement, it might disappoint.

I am such a sucker for dog books and this one is great! An early reader book, this tale starts out with Dixie getting a new owner, Emma. She loves having a dog and tells Dixie that she should just follow her everywhere she goes. This sounds like a great plan, but Emma has just gotten the lead role in the play The Wizard of Oz and all of the time she is supposed to spend with Dixie is being used on preparations. Dixie gets an idea to hid one of the ruby slippers to try and get Emma to finally notice her but Emma starts to panic because without the slipper she has no show! Everything in Emma's life seems to go sad until she finally realizes who her real friend is!

Cute, but not a favorite. I hope more I Can Read books will be free or cheap on the NOOKbook list. Same price as a physical copy makes it hard for me to purchase since I have no qualms about leaving my toddler alone with a book, but wouldn't leave her with the nook. Dixie was our first experience with a Nook Kids Read to Me book and I think it's fun. My toddler daughter loves to listen to it again and again. posted: http://creativemadnessmama.com/blog/2...

Emma and her dog, Dixie, are inseparable. But when Emma tries out for the school play, in hopes of becoming the lead character, Dorothy, Emma has no time for Dixie. What can an energetic dog do when she has to wait and wait? Cute story.

super cute story about what a little girl does when her dog tries to make it difficult for her to practice her part in a play!
