The Barking Dog looks at the fear some people have of dogs and how to overcome that fear. Hera lives next door to Mrs Frost, whose small dog Lexi barks at everyone and everything. Even though Lexi is little, she scares Hera. One day, Hera hears a change in Lexi’s bark. She looks over the fence and sees that Mrs Frost has hurt her ankle and needs Hera’s help. Hera is worried about coming near Lexi, but she wants to help her neighbour. Lexi senses that Hera is there to help Mrs Frost and stops barking. Over time, Hera gets to know Lexi and learns that Lexi barks for different reasons. In the end, Hera and Mrs Frost take Lexi to a dog show together, and Hera feels comfortable around not only Lexi but also the other dogs.Themes: Character education, Neighbourhood, Overcoming obstacles, PetsFeatures of the Book:¢ The information contained in the illustrations¢ Content words for discussion: barking, proud, scared¢ Phonics and phonemic awareness: consonant blends fr and pr; vowel blends around/ground/house/ outside/proud/soundedThe Barking Dog introduces and reinforces the following strategies:¢ making connections¢ determining author’s purpose¢ asking and answering questionsMaterials: Copies of the Sentence Strips, reproducible for this book, cut and ready for use  and copies of the BMFiction.
