Tinka is a cool dog, a school dog, a breaking all the rules dog.
A hall dog, a ball dog, a crash-into-the-wall dog.
Join Tinka, a dandy, sandy Golden Retriever, as she unexpectedly visits her owner at school and helps his class learn to read. Bright illustrations rendered in acrylic paint add to the excitement in this playful back-to-school story about a boy and his "loves-to-hear-a-book" dog.
The author and illustrator of Cool Dog, School Dog have donated this book to the Worldreader program.
