Rah rah grrr! We're the fighting fur! The Wagstaff Dogs have lost every game this season. Until Martha finds them the perfect coach . . . Carolina! She knows all the plays and can handle a football like a pro. But football just doesn't go with her girly-girl image. Can Martha convince Carolina to help, even if Tiffany Blatsky might see her?

This Level 2 Green Light Reader based on the popular PBS TV series Martha Speaks is all about teamwork and following your passions, even when you're nervous about what others might think. Includes a "Toss Up" word game about sports words that have double meanings, such as "pass," "tackle," and "huddle." Go, Dogs!

Author Notes

Susan Meddaugh is the creator of Martha, the beloved talking dog. Martha was a real dog who lived with Susan and her family. One day, her son wondered if Martha would be able to talk if he fed her alphabet soup. A star was born! Meddaugh now lives (with dogs, of course) in Sherborn, Massachusetts.

Horn Book Review

In these beginning-reader teleplay adaptations, Martha rolls in trash and can't enter the house until she bathes, and Carolina helps coach Helen's football team to victory (after initially hiding her football know-how from her girlfriends). Stinks! delivers a flat story line through rebus and limited text; in Fumble, Carolina's over-concern with football not being "girly" enough is annoying. Brief story-related activities are appended. [Review covers these Martha Speaks titles: Football Fumble and Martha Stinks!.] (c) Copyright 2014. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
