[Hold up cover, but
cover up with your hand the part of the illustration which shows Zorro, the smaller
dog].
This is Mister Bud [the
larger dog on the cover]. Mister Bud has a great life for a dog. Dogs love
a set schedule, and Mister Bud is no exception. He’s got his own house, his own
bed, his own toys, his own dish, and a time for everything.
Do you know how
important his schedule is to Mister Bud? It is everything. He has his biscuit
before his walk. When his owner comes home, it’s “greet and make a fuss time,”
followed by quick backyard time, dinnertime, walk time, and then movie time.
Yes, Mister Bud loves his movies. What dog doesn’t? What a perfect, happy,
orderly life.
[Show cover, and take
your hand off so that Zorro is now showing.] Oh my gosh, who is this? A new
dog? A new dog in Mister Bud’s house? Oh dear. What is the expression on this
little dog’s face? [Get a few responses.]
Right, he looks angry. This is Zorro, and he’s little and fierce. Does Mister
Bud look happy about this? [Absolutely
not!]
To add insult to injury, this book is titled, “Say Hello to
Zorro!” And that’s what Bud’s owners said to him when they brought Zorro home.
Is trouble brewing?
