Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Isabel and Zoe are so excited to be starting Fun in the Sun Camp! It's too bad Isabel's dog, Rollo, isn't allowed, but the songs and sports, wiener roasts and crafts, swimming and storytelling will surely make up for that, right? Wrong! It turns out, the camp counselors do a big amount of saying no: NO singing your own song, NO running like a penguin, NO trading lunches (even when your sandwich bread is mushy from pickle juice!). Isabel wants to have her own Bigger Amount of Fun in the Sun Camp in the backyard, with Rollo, instead. But will Isabel's mom let her? And what will they do about Mr. Entwistle, their neighbor who lives on the grumpy side of the fence? Award-winning author Caroline Adderson is a master at telling stories that keep early-chapter-book readers engaged, amused and laughing out loud. This series about the lovable Izzy delivers kid-perfect subjects, lovable characters, loads of humour - and a dog! This title works for both independent reading and reading aloud, with just enough fun-filled illustrations by Kelly Collier - one on nearly every spread - to keep the pages accessible. The side story about the older Mr. Entwistle touches on the theme of death in an accepting and respectful way and supports social-emotional learning and character education lessons on empathy.
"Isabel and Zoë are going to their first summer camp and everything's going to be a blast! -- until it isn't. Not only does the camp not allow dogs, they also don't allow Izzy's favorite songs, awesome penguin races and necessary lunch trades. But it isn't until Izzy accidentally uses permanent maker to draw some fake eyebrows on herself, that the camp experience really goes downhill. So, what do the girls do when camp isn't all sunshine and roses? Why, start their own, of course! Welcome to a week of fun at the Bigger Amount of Fun in the Sun Camp, where we have hot dogs, singing, field trips, penguin races and more! And, most importantly, where dogs are definitely allowed! But one day, Zoë is sick and can't come over. So Izzy invites over Mr. Entwhistle, her grumpy next-door neighbour who is always grumbling about things. Thus begins a new friendship as Isabel connects with her neighbour through empathy and fun."-- Provided by publisher.
