Lights, Camera, Woof! Writing For Pet Entertainment Television, an Activity Workbook offers young writers an exciting self-directed approach to creating television newscasts, game shows, situation comedies and more.

From editorials to interviews to short movies, Lights, Camera, Woof! provides opportunities that will entertain the entire family. Participants can role-play underdog anchordogs, opinionated reptilian movie reviewers, and muscular mussel fitness buffs as they enter the wacky, yet educational, world of The Pet Network.

For ages ten and up.

Lights, Camera, Woof! and The Pet Network make teaching enjoyable. I can't think of a more engaging way to introduce students to the world of television writing."
- Marcy Toschi, Literacy Coach and National Board Certified English Teacher

"Where would we be without animals? I'm glad to see The Pet Network advocates on behalf of de-clawed cats and chained guard dogs. This is a workbook with a conscience."
- Debbie Elliott, Co-Creator of teachwithmovies.com and animal rights activist

"When my children and I enter the studios of The Pet Network, we see the world from a different point of view -- one that barks, meows, rivets, and squawks. This isn't homework. It's home fun."
- Yvette Gil, Parent
