Boys Are Dogs by Leslie Margolis

When I book talked this book to the sixth graders, the boys' first reaction to this book was —what about the "Girls Are Cats" book?
Annabelle is in sixth grade and she is going through a lot of changes in her life: new school, new friends, new town, new house and a new puppy (named Pepper!). She had always gone to an all girls school, so attending a school with boys was quite the change for Annabelle. Kicking her chair during class, annoying in the lunchroom, calling her an unwanted nickname, those boys are hard to handle, just like her new puppy. Could her new dog training skills work with the boys?
Don't worry SJV boys, Leslie Margolis' next book is titled Girls Acting Catty.
