Told from the point of view of Sparky, a puppy, the reader experiences a romp through London.
A magic bone he finds in his backyard transports him to various places around the globe.
About six in the series so far:

Strategy: inferring (since the story is told from the pup's perspective, readers need to infer what is really happening!)
In the back of the book, the author shares true facts about London and all the points of interest Sparky visited.
Point to discuss/warning: In my opinion the word "stupid" was used often.
Perfect series for reluctant readers and for helping readers build stamina.
