Books with author Marla Fraze

Boot and Shoe were born into the same litter, and now they live in the same house. They eat out of the same bowl, pee on the same tree, and sleep in the same bed. But they spend their days apart - Boot is always on the back porch because he's a back porch kind of dog, and Shoe likes to be on the front porch because he's a front porch kind of dog. This is exactly perfect for them. But then a crazy neighbourhood squirrel arrives . . . and everythinggoes topsy-turvy! Caldecott Honor Medalist Marla Frazee brings her signature wit, tenderness, and hilarious illustrations to the cutest pair of dogs you've ever seen who are sure to steal your heart.
