"Play ball with me!"

Angel stood still and barked at Joe.

Terry's Tips

With Book Builder you can add two sounds to every page. You can record yourself or a child reading the text aloud, and add sound effects. For this page I recorded the real Angel barking.

But sometimes you have to improvise. For the previous page,  I needed a sound for the kayak scraping the shore, but it was the middle of winter. A snow shovel scraping on the snow was a pretty good approximation.
