Move Over, Rover!

Illustrator: Jane Dyer

Poor Rover! He’s all alone in his doghouse, chewing on a bone. As clouds roll in, and the rain begins to pour…

Rover’s in the doghouse,

sleeping through the storm…

Cat is looking all around

to find a place that’s warm.

MOVE OVER, ROVER!

Raccoon, Squirrel, Blue Jay, and Snake want to be warm, too. One by one, they all squeeze into Rover’s doghouse and fall asleep, until…PEEUUWW! An uninvited guest quickly disperses the crowd. Who is it, and how did he get in? (You have to look very closely!)

Children are sure to enjoy calling out “Move over, Rover!” and searching for the animal characters camouflaged on various pages. (Preschool–2nd grade)
