Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. As their story begins for us, Ellen and her dog, Baxter, have a big change in their lives just ahead them. They are moving. What is the name of the street on which they have been living?

Answer: Blossom Street

Ellen mentions several times how much she likes her neighborhood, on Blossom Street. She knew the flower shop there and the French Caf� and many other places. She had many friends. It seemed everyone knew her - and her yippy, yappy Yorkie, Baxter.

2. When they were almost ready to leave their house Ellen put Baxter's green doggy sweater on him. Who had knit this precious sweater for Baxter?

Answer: Ellen

One of Ellen's most favorite places in her "old" neighborhood was a shop called A Good Yarn. It was where she had learned to knit and thus it was she who had made her dog his very own doggy sweater. She had chosen the color, bright green, because she thought it made him look especially handsome to wear it.

3. Although Baxter seemed to be very content in his "new" and bigger yard he did manage to escape. What was Ellen doing when Baxter went through a hole in the fence?

Answer: She was unpacking her things

Ellen hung her clothes and she placed her stuffed animals on her bed and she put her folded clothes in her bureau drawers. She wanted her new room to look very nice. Baxter had been busy, too, unknown to Ellen - escaping from his new backyard.

4. What did Ellen find that convinced her that Baxter had indeed escaped?

Answer: A piece of yarn from his green sweater, caught on a hole in the fence

After Ellen had looked in the back yard for only a few minutes she discovered a hole in the fence near the ground, big enough for a Yorkie to go through it. Sure enough, there was a string of green wool - just like Baxter's sweater - caught in the wood of the fence.

Answer: Ice cream

Ellen and her mother quickly made friends with the ice cream man. He had not seen her little dog but, as he told her, he had "seen lots of Popsicles and ice-cream sandwiches and Eskimo pies!" I think he would be a great friend to know.

Answer: He juggled an apple, a peach and an orange

So much about this grocery store was like the grocery store in their old neighborhood: the store, the wares and even the way the grocery owner was dressed. So much seemed familiar, but the grocery store owner had not seen a little dog in a green knit sweater that day.

Answer: Brenda

Ellen and her mother found Brenda's Bakery and found that it was just as pleasant and wonderful as the French Caf� had been. But Brenda had not seen Baxter. She told them she had seen "doughnuts and cr�me puffs and oatmeal cookies" but no Yorkie. Ellen was almost ready to abandon the search but her mother thought they should look some more places.

Answer: April

Ellen was delighted to see Baxter safe and in good care. Ellen's mom thanked April for caring for Baxter. April said that she knew someone would be looking for that little dog with the green knit sweater. He had to be a very special companion to someone. And, she was correct!

9. Ellen had more than one surprise when she found Baxter in the flower shop. What did she learn about the young lady who had taken care of Baxter until Ellen found him?

Answer: That she had a Yorkie, too

The girls were delighted to find each other, and double-delighted that their dogs had found themselves a new friend, too. April's dog's name was Iris, and April loved Iris as much as Ellen loved Baxter.

10. What did Ellen's new friend ask her to do - now that they were friends? She was inspired to ask when she saw the sweater that Baxter was wearing.

Answer: She asked Ellen to teach her to knit

As soon as Ellen's new friend learned that Ellen had knit the sweater for Baxter all by herself, she wanted to learn to knit one for her dog. Ellen was so proud and happy. The story concludes with Ellen planning to meet many new friends in her new neighborhood and invite them to visit her and Baxter in their new home.
