Grade 3-5 --This first installment in a new series features fourth and fifth graders Carrie and Jenny Sawyer, sisters who both love animals. They have two cats and a bird of their own, but when a neighbor's dog, a miniature collie, has puppies, they want one. Told by their mother that the dog would be too much responsibility and too expensive, the girls set out to earn money in order to buy a puppy and show their mother just how responsible they are. The characters are believeable, if superficial; the plot development is fair, but the subject will have appeal. An innocuous story for girls who like animals. --Carol Kolb Phillips, The Library, East Brunswick, NJ
