Some dogs yip.
Some dogs sniff.
Some dogs howl.
And some dogs just wag their tails all day.

*** Targeted Parent Literacy Enhancement - The more words children know the easier it is when they learn how to read. Research tells us that it is easier to read a word that you have already heard. Books help your child learn new words, or vocabulary, because books contain more words than you will find in everyday conversations.
