Little White Dogs Can't Jump by Bruce Whatley (Grade 1 Read Aloud)

NORMAN: How come the dog in this story isn't good at jumping? Jumping is easy.
MISS ELDEN: Well, Smudge has short legs and a heavy body, so it makes jumping difficult for him.
NORMAN: So he can't jump over the back of the couch like I can?
MISS ELDEN: Definitely not.
NORMAN: I'll let him borrow my basketball. Maybe if he thinks he's a basketball player he will be able to jump higher!

Hi AJ boys and girls! Today we are going to read a story called Little White Dogs Can't Jump, about a cute little Bulldog named Smudge, who has a big problem...he has short little legs and a big heavy body so he can't jump into the family car. Wait until you see what his people do to try to solve the problem - you will be giggling at all of Smudge's funny antics. 

After you have listened to the story of Little White Dogs Can't Jump, you might feel like working on an English Bulldog colouring sheet. Use your imagination and make a really colourful dog using rainbow stripes or polka dots. Maybe you want to draw and colour your bulldog wearing a basketball jersey like Smudge wears in the story. Norman is going to colour his dog wearing a Canucks jersey because he misses watching hockey on TV.
