Collins Big Cat - Oh No, Rosie!: Band 10+/White Plus

Moving house and school means Megan has to make new friends. She thinks that having a dog will help her to do that, but rather than the cute puppy she'd hoped for, she gets a smelly old dog called Rosie. Megan feels embarrassed when she walks Rosie in the park and notices her new classmates giggling and whispering comments. But are they really laughing at her? Perhaps she misunderstood … This sweet story about friendship is written by Pippa Goodhart.
