    About this ebook

    Cassie Tyler’s first grade class visits the Animal Inn in this third zany novel in a brand-new chapter book series where the fur—and fun—flies at an animal spa and hotel.

    The Animal Inn is an all-inclusive pet resort/hotel/center/spa for animals from dogs to rabbits, cats to ducks, parrots to lizards. From doggie and kitty daycare, to grooming, and group play—you name it, and the Animal Inn has it.

    The Inn is run by the Tyler family along with their pets Leopold, the Macaw; Fuzzy and Furry, the gerbils; dogs Dash and Coco; felines Shadow and Whiskers; and a rollicking horde of animal visitors.

    Cassie Tyler’s first grade class is so excited to take a field trip to Animal Inn for a meet and greet. And it’s a furry good time for all—even for the newest classmate, a goldfish named Blub!

      Editorial: Why Should Women — Or Men — Have To Register For The Draft?

      Feb 28, 2019

      A federal court judge recently declared what should already have been obvious: It's unconstitutional to require only men - not women - to register for the military draft now that women can serve in combat. For most of the 20th century, the United Sta

      The Bow-wow Bus - Paul DuBois Jacobs

      PROLOGUE

      Beep-beep!

      Beep-beep!

      Yippee! The school bus is here.

      Beep-beep!

      Welcome to Animal Inn. My name is Coco. I’m a chocolate Labrador retriever.

      No, I’m not made of chocolate, silly. I don’t even like the stuff. We dogs aren’t supposed to eat chocolate. But I do like to eat. Especially cheese.

      I like cheddar cheese and Swiss cheese and American cheese.

      I like cheese sticks and cheese balls and cheese puffs.

      I like mac-and-cheese and grilled cheese and cheese pizza.

      Luckily, my human sister, Cassie, likes cheese as much as I do. Cassie and I belong to the Tyler family. Our family includes five humans—Mom, Dad, Jake, Ethan, and Cassie—and seven pets:

      • Me

      • Dash—a Tibetan terrier

      • Leopold—a scarlet macaw

      • Shadow and Whiskers—sister and brother cats

      • and Fuzzy and Furry—a pair of very adventurous gerbils

      The Tylers used to live in an apartment in the city. Back then, Mom and Dad had two children, Jake and Ethan, and two pets, Dash and Leopold. But when Cassie and I came along, Mom and Dad bought this old house in the country.

      Animal Inn is one part hotel, one part school, and one part spa. As our brochure says, We promise to love your pet as much as you do.

      Beep-beep!

      Where are Jake, Ethan, and Cassie? It’s time for them to go to school.

      Before long, customers will start to arrive. On some days, there is so much coming and going, Animal Inn could use a revolving door. We might have a Pekinese here for a pedicure. A Siamese for a short stay. Or a llama for a long stay.

      On the first floor, we have the Welcome Area, the office, the classroom, the grooming room, and my favorite—the party and play room.

      Our family lives on the second floor. This includes Fuzzy and Furry snug in their gerbiltorium in Jake and Ethan’s room.

      The third floor is for smaller guests. We have a Reptile Room, a Rodent Room, and a Small Mammal Room. Larger guests stay out in the barn and kennels.

      Beep-beep!

      Where are those kids?

      What if they miss the bus? What if they miss school?

      School is so awesome. There’s story time and lunchtime and playtime. In fact, just last week I got to spend an entire day with Cassie’s first-grade class. Let me tell you what happened. . . .

      CHAPTER

      1

      It began like any other Monday.

      When Cassie and I came downstairs that morning, Leopold was already on his perch. Dash sat nearby. Whiskers was curled up on the sofa, while Shadow hid behind it. (She likes to sneak outside whenever she gets the chance.)

      Cassie was chattering to me as usual. My school job this week is snack helper, she said. She unzipped her backpack and pulled out her lunch box.
