Basie, whose official name is Basil, is a talking rescue dog! He is a South Carolina-born and bred Chihuahua-Rat Terrier Mix with a strong Southern accent and no concept of time at all.
Basie loves his new family as much as they love him, but he is into some kind of mischief on a nearly daily basis. He loves treats, especially Doggie-Roni. His nemesis is Miss Kitty, the cat next door, who considers herself a ruthless Southern Diva. Basie and his best friend, Leba, from next door, are scared that the big dog living in the house beside Basie will get out of his own yard. The Adventures of Basie seem endless; they will keep you guessing and provide lots of giggling along the way!
This book is geared toward grades three to five but can be enjoyed by all ages.
