1-3Martha Speaks series.
Adapted by Jamie White.
In these two chapter-book adaptations of teleplays from the TV series, Martha reunites with her estranged relatives (while her human family prepares for their own Thanksgiving reunion) and plays investigative reporter, uncovering a giant dinosaur bone in the park. Vocabulary lessons often weigh down the stories, but the talking dog's charm and familiar illustrations will likely continue to engage young fans. Review covers these Martha Speaks titles: Martha's Nose for News and Thanksgiving Reunion.
