This book was a fun read. Very much like the town I lived in. The personalities in the book are so very much like all small town folks and you could place them into just about any state and see a face to match her descriptions. Good reading for city folks also to give them a relaxing time away from the daily hustle.

Affectionate, warm, and funny, Your Dog Is in the Bar by new author Celia Rensch Day is for folks who want to remember the good old days when neighbors helped mend fences and everyone pitched in when the old store needed a fresh coat of paint and a new roof. This novel-memoir takes a dry-humored, straightforward, journalistic, yet slapstick approach to what life is like, not on the fringe of the big city, but in the thick of it all in a small town. It's a fresh look at down home, hometown life and the characters that keep it kicking. In Ramona, South Dakota there is seventy-nine-year-old Maude the Mowing Queen and Ira, who is known as Mr. Cat Man, and Russell, the local gravedigger, water meter reader, town maintenance guy, and all around Mr. Fix It. The author has known Ramona her whole life and when she returns with her husband to live there after a thirty-five year hiatus, she learns that the folks she finds there are exactly what she's been missing.

I checked this book out at the library for my kids and loved it so much, I bought it! Easy but facinating experiments with stuff you have around the house. I'm using it as part of my home school curriculum. My 1st and 3rd graders love it!
