When the seasons change and fall comes around, it's time for
Kate to go to school.  Cocoa isn't too thrilled with the fact, as the
four short, easy-to-read chapters of the book show.

In MARY'S LAMB, Cocoa is determined to follow Kate and her
school bus all the way to school, until he realizes that the faster
she gets there, the quicker she'll return back home.

With THE PORTRAIT, Cocoa helps Kate with her homework
assignment, which involves painting a picture.

A NEW FRIEND introduces Kate's schoolmate, Jenny, who
Cocoa is determined not to like, until Kate reassures her best
friend that nothing will ever take the place of her horse.

In A REPORT, Kate and Cocoa both realize that Cocoa is the
best one to help with a school report on horses!

The COWGIRL KATE AND COCOA series is great for beginning
readers, or for a quick and fun read before bed.  This one is no
exception, and the lessons learned in the story are ones that
everyone can relate to.
