Kate and Lucie are best friends, who love, love, love dogs, but live in apartment buildings where the rule is: NO DOGS ALLOWED. But thanks to their magic dog bone necklaces, instead of having dogs, they get to be dogs!

In this second book of the Ready, Set, Dogs! series, Kate and Lucie's class gets a substitute teacher who has the class going hog wild as he teaches about animal communication. At the same time, a girl in their class is making fun of them. What to do? As their funny and furry adventures continue, Kate and Lucie teach the class a thing or two about dogs and make a new friend in the process.

Rex, the dinosaur, thinks honking is fun! Riding in his shiny red dino-car he honks to warn a speeding driver to slow down, to say hello to a friend, and to stop a litterbug. “No honking allowed!” says his dino-buddy Stego.

When a fire truck gets stuck in traffic, will it be Rex who saves the day? Will he learn that there's a time to honk and a time to keep your hand off the horn?

Maybe. Or maybe dinosaurs in books get to have a little extra fun. Come along on this rhyming, high-energy joyride and see. Honk!
