About the Book

Join Selma in three all-new adventures that prove home is where the biggest surprises—and the biggest blessings—are waiting.

When the workday ends at the Blue Plate Diner, Selma discovers that life at home can be every bit as exciting as life behind the counter.

As Halloween approaches, strange happenings at the house next door convince everyone that a ghost has moved into the neighborhood. Later, Selma's city cousin comes to visit, and the two dogs discover that city life and small-town life each have their own special joys. Finally, when Selma needs help the most, the caring people of Riverside show just how much they love their favorite diner dog.

Filled with lovable characters, gentle humor, colorful illustrations, and the warmth of classic small-town life, these three wholesome stories celebrate friendship, kindness, community, and the comforting truth that home is where people care for one another.

This collection includes:

• Selma and the Ghost Next Door

• Selma and the City Cousin

• Selma's Visitors

Perfect for children ages 6–8, family read-alouds, classrooms, and young readers who enjoy gentle mysteries, memorable characters, and stories with heart. A delightful companion to the original Selma the Diner Dog.

Why You'll Love This Book

• Three all-new Selma adventures

• Perfect for ages 6–8

• A gentle Halloween mystery

• Heartwarming lessons about friendship and home

• Classic small-town charm

One editorial suggestion: I think "Selma's Visitors" is really about the generosity of a caring community. I'd hint at that, as I did above, rather than saying it's about Selma breaking her ankle. The emotional takeaway is much stronger: readers remember the outpouring of kindness more than the accident itself.
