What does "kibble" mean?
"Talk about speedy! thought Wishbone. And there isn't even any kibble involved! 'Atta boy, Joe!"
I didn't understand what "talk about speedy" and " 'Atta boy" meant too.
I was reading a book and its characters were playing basketball.

It sounds as if Wishbone was a dog watching boys play basketball. He was comparing them to what dogs do.
Speedy= fast
kibble= dry dog food which is used to reward dogs to do tricks.
Attaboy= a word used by pet owners to encourage their dogs after they have done the right thing, after they have been rewarded with a handful of kibble .
