Roscoe Riley Rules #3: Don't Swap Your Sweater for a Dog

The hilarious chapter book series about an accidental rule breaker from Katherine Applegate, Newbery Medal–winning and bestselling author of The One and Only Ivan and Crenshaw, returns with a fresh new cover from artist Brian Biggs and bonus material!

It seems like everyone has an award of some kind. Except Roscoe. But a pet-trick contest is coming up, and first prize is a big, shiny trophy. Roscoe really wants that trophy—would he even borrow someone else’s dog to win?

Roscoe and his comical misadventures will appeal to fans of Megan McDonald’s Stink series, Nancy Krulik’s George Brown, Class Clown series, and Dan Gutman’s My Weirder School series. This repackaged edition includes Roscoe Riley’s Time-Out Activities, featuring lists, games, and more.

Accidental Rule Breaker: Roscoe doesn’t mean to cause trouble, but wanting a trophy more than anything might lead to his biggest mistake yet. Funny Books for Kids: Laugh-out-loud moments as Roscoe tries to teach his lovable-but-clueless dog, Goofy, to be a contest star. Books About Dogs: When Goofy can’t learn any tricks, Roscoe makes a desperate trade: his grandma’s handmade sweater for the chance to compete with a perfectly-trained poodle. Learning Honesty: Winning feels great, but Roscoe soon discovers that the best prize is telling the truth and loving your own goofy dog, just the way he is.
