A fun, fresh frolic that animal-loving kids are sure to enjoy.- Publishers Weeklyįenway and Hattie is about a dog named Fenway and his girl Hattie who move from an apartment in the city to a house in the suburbs, where they each struggle with big changes.

Teachers and adults will appreciate generous sprinklings of rich vocabulary. Readers will relate to Fenway’s impulsivity and delight in descriptions from his dog’s-eye view. ![]() ![]() Genre: contemporary fiction from a dog’s point of view ![]()
