This book is really a charming collection of short stories about the adventures of Louise, a fun and creative Kindergartner. It is a great bedtime read. Since each chapter is a complete story and a natural stopping place. My girls 6 and 7 loved them all. [...].

I loved this book! The main character, Louise, is such a real little girl and her stories are so much fun. Very hilarious!! I recommend this book for all young children and their parents!!

"Help, My Life Is Going to the Dogs," is full of characters that are unique and funny. It's a story about a girl who has money problems and is always thinking about it until Eric comes along and the twosome hatch a plan for a double-dog birthday party. At the party, Rory learns some lessons about friendship. I especially liked Jennifer because she always had a way to get what she wanted. I also liked Rory because she took pains to hide her family's financial situation in a humorous way.
