Book 1
Kayleigh Meets the Yippers
Kayleigh is a cavoodle, and she knows a lot about dogs. Big dogs are the BEST dogs. So when two tiny, yippy dogs move in across the street, Kayleigh decides they need lessons in how to be proper dogs.
Sit calmly? Bark like you mean it? Walk nicely? It does not go well. But when a storm rolls in, Kayleigh discovers there is more to Pip and Peaches than yipping...
A funny, warm story about kindness, friendship, and the joy of odd friends.
Kayleigh the cavoodle is sure big dogs are the best dogs, so she tries to do everything her Great Dane neighbor Duke does. It doesn't go well... until a tiny kitten gets stuck where no big dog can reach.
Kayleigh the cavoodle has one job: chasing squirrels. Zip! Up the tree. Every time. Then the first snow falls, her short legs go FLUMP, and Kayleigh discovers something new: some things are better just watched.
A funny, cozy story about chasing, watching, and snow.
Kayleigh is a real cavoodle, a breed that began in Australia. Before she moved to sunny Florida, she lived in Herndon, Virginia, where the trees were tall, the leaves went crunch, and she saw snow for the very first time. The gray squirrels in her yard kept her very busy. She chased them every chance she got, and she never caught a single one.
She loves other dogs, especially big ones, and she still thinks yippy little dogs are a bit odd. But she has a very big heart.
Roberta Hyland has been a dog lover her entire life and a committed educator for her entire career. As a high school speech and debate coach for 20 years, she helped students learn how to express themselves.
In the Kayleigh Adventures, Roberta lets her dog, Kayleigh the Cavoodle, help children learn life lessons through her adventures. Kayleigh has lots of personality and thoughts to share! Kayleigh and her humans (Roberta and Duane) lived in Herndon, Virginia, and now live in sunny Florida.
