Charlie the Ranch Dog trades in nap time for game time in this sporty adventure by Ree Drummond—#1 New York Times bestselling author, Food Network star, and The Pioneer Woman herself. With expressive illustrations by Diane deGroat, a new delicious recipe from Ree Drummond, and the hilarious antics of Charlie, this picture book is a slam dunk!
Life on the ranch means lots of time outside, either helping out with the cattle or tossing around a ball with the family. From football to soccer to basketball, Charlie’s ready to jump into the game and take his team to victory.
But Charlie’s favorite part of sports comes after the winning goal when everyone breaks for a postgame meal. He may be more of a benchwarmer when it comes to athletics, but Charlie will always be the MVP of dinnertime!
Charlie the Ranch Dog is back again, narrating his adventures on the ranch. Charlie is an adorable Basset Hound with floppy ears, droopy eyes, and short legs. In Charlie Plays Ball he joins in on the fun they have playing sports. Turns out his favorite ball of all is not found on the field…but in the kitchen! A MEATBALL! With Ree Drummond ( The Pioneer Woman) in the kitchen, that doesn’t surprise me at all!
My little one really loved this book. His puppy is also named Charlie, so that caught his attention right away. Ree Drummond also included her recipe for Charlie’s Favorite Spaghetti and Meatballs. The illustrations done by Diane Degroat are fabulous and full of detail. Fun story for all little ones to read.
