Page 1
On the right side of the image, Vic stands on the porch of a house with hands on his hips in a confident, expectant pose, looking out toward a group of children gathered in the yard below. Dog lies on the ground near the bottom-left of the scene, relaxed and stretching out in the grass. Several children stand along a fence looking up toward Vic with curious expressions, while a volleyball net is visible in the yard, setting an outdoor after-school atmosphere in bright daylight.

Vic is up on his porch. We look up, but Dog naps in the yard.

In the lower-left portion of the image, Vic is kneeling on the floor, leaning forward with a proud, contented expression as he opens or reaches into a large trunk or chest. Behind him on the wall hangs a large collection of framed certificates and awards, and on a shelf below them sit numerous trophies, cups, and medals. In the bottom-left corner, Dog sits facing Vic alongside a group of small children who are crowding in to watch him from behind.

Vic is a star! He digs in a big trunk.

On the right side of the image, Vic holds up a big white volleyball with both hands, presenting it proudly to a group of children below. Along the bottom of the image, several small children look upward with excited, wide-eyed expressions, hands raised eagerly toward the ball. The scene is set against a plain white background, with the left side of the image kept clear.

Vic lifts up a big ball. A fun sport starts, and we all grin.

On the left side of the image, Vic stands behind a small tabletop model of a volleyball court, smiling broadly and pointing down at it with one hand while a group of children gather around him, looking at the model with interest. The miniature court shows a net across the middle with tiny player figures on each side and a small ball. Vic has an enthusiastic, explanatory expression as he presents the model to the other kids.

Vic points at a wee sport set. It is a smart sport. Hit it back and forth!

On the right side of the image, Vic holds up three photo-style illustrations showing volleyball action shots: one depicts a player jumping high with arms raised to spike the ball over the net, another shows a player in a low crouching stance preparing to dig the ball, and the third shows a player at the net spiking the volleyball over it with a determined expression. In the bottom-left corner, a group of small children watch closely and nod with attentive expressions.

Vic lifts up his pics for us. In the pics, lads jump up with arms out and hit!

On the left side of the image, Vic holds up a diagram of a volleyball court, showing an overhead view with players positioned on both sides of a net. A dashed arrow on the diagram shows the ball's trajectory arcing to a gap where no one stands on the opposing side. Vic looks out at the viewer with an instructive expression, watching to make sure the audience understands. The background is plain white, leaving the right side open.

Vic gets out a map. See the arc? Aim at the gap, and hit the target!

On the right side of the image, Dog is lying on its belly holding a stack of photographs in one paw, looking down at the top photo with tail wagging. The top photo shows a person diving across sandy beach to reach a volleyball, with a net visible in the background. Several of Dog's paws are visible around the edges of the frame as it browses through the photos. The scene is set against a plain white background.

Dog looks at the pics. A lad darts in the sand! This is a dog sport!

On the left side of the image, Vic kneels on the floor and stretches a large world map across the ground, pointing down at various locations with one hand while two children gather around him, looking down at the map with curious expressions. A volleyball sits nearby in the upper left. Dog lies on its back right in the middle of the world map, relaxed and playful, rolling around. A child with glasses watches Dog and grins. The right side of the image is plain white background.

Vic points at spots on his map, far, far off. Dog is on his back, and his tail thumps.

On the right side of the image, Vic leans down from above, smiling encouragingly and reaching down to pat Tim on the head. Tim stands looking up at Vic with a shy smile. Dog sits beside Tim at his side, looking up attentively with tail wagging. In the center-left area, several other children are gathered on the ground — two lying on their stomachs looking at a map or large paper, and one standing child watching with wide eyes.

A wee lad asks for help. Can he take part? Vic pats him, and Dog wags his tail.

Page 10
On the left side of the image, Vic strides confidently forward into the yard, looking back over his shoulder at a line of small children who follow behind him with eager, wide-eyed expressions. Dog trots along at the back of the line on all fours with ears bouncing, looking excited. A volleyball sails through the air above them. The scene is set outdoors on grass with a plain white background on the right side.

We march out to the yard with Vic, and Dog jogs at the back. The ball sails up!

Page 11
On the right side of the image, a group of children practice volleyball outdoors near a low net, with one child tossing the ball up while another reaches high to send it over the net. The others watch eagerly with excited expressions. Dog crouches in the middle of the group, looking up at the ball with an alert, ready expression as if about to snatch it. Vic stands on the far right with hands on hips, smiling and supervising the practice session.

A kid hits the ball hard, and it zips up. Dog crouches, set to snatch it. Stop, Dog!

Page 12
On the left side of the image, Dog sits on a patch of grass, hugging a large volleyball tightly with both front paws, pressing its nose right into the ball with a determined, possessive expression. The ball is nearly as big as Dog. The scene is outdoors on a bright day with a plain white background extending across the right side of the image.

Snatch! Dog hugs the ball hard with his paws. Paws off the ball, Dog! But he just wags his tail.
