The Adventures of Herba Hoota Hound Dog Big is a chapter book with line art illustrations, written for third grade children and older.  Since this book reaches a different audience, it reintroduces the creation of the character and proceeds into issues children face today.

Herba Hoota and Coach Larson help Gordon, who stutters, but is a good baseball player, become more self reliant about his situation and more courageous.

Herba Hoota and Mrs. Larson help Angie, the girl who bullied Megan, address her anger and learn to gain the acceptance of the children she bullied, while teaching the other children forgiveness.

The story comes full circle.
