Never Box with a Kangaroo #11 [Paperback]

Sparky goes down under!

When Sparky chomps on his magic bone, this time it kabooms him to Kangaroo Island, Australia! There he discovers a fox terrier puppy named Mick who's lost his family. But Sparky has a plan--he'll help Mick find a new family! They ask everyone they come across: bats, penguins, kangaroos, even bees! But will anyone give Mick a home?Nancy Krulik has written over one hundred books for children and young adults, including two New York Times Best Sellers.

“I’ve got it! I’ve got it!” I bark excitedly.
 
I’m chasing after a ball in the air.
 
My paws speed up. Now I am running. Fast. Faster. Fastest.
 
My eyes are following the ball as it soars above me.
 
“I’m gonna catch you!” I bark to the ball.
 
Plop. The ball hits the ground.
 
The ball was too fast for me . . . this time. But I’ll get it next time!
 
I scoop up the ball in my mouth and bring it back to my two-leg, Josh. Now we can play again.
 
I love when Josh brings me to the park. It’s bigger than our yard. There’s much more room to run.
