"Emma is volunteering around town for a school project--and Dixie wants to help out!"--P. [4] of cover.

When Dixie gets to join Emma at school for Pet Day, she can hardly stop wagging her tail with excitement! Emma's classmates have all kinds of pets--hamsters, birds, goldfish--even lizards! Dixie tries her best to sit still, but with all the new friends to make, she may not be able to stay calm for long.

Dixie the puppy plays with Emma every day after school until Emma starts memorizing her lines for the school play.
