When new dogs move next door and invite themselves over for breakfast, it can test a girl’s patience. But when the dogs eat all the bacon? That’s just rude.
Fortunately, these rough-around-the-edges mutts are not without charm. They love spending time with the girl, especially rolling in the river mud and playing music. She grows to like them, even if they do sometimes smell like feet. Until, that is, she spots a WANTED poster and begins to wonder: Could these be bad dogs?
A silly, playful, multilayered picture book for kids (and grownup kids) who adore dogs and their mischief.
For kids who love Oliver Jeffers’ and Jon Agee’s more irreverent books. Comps: It’s Only Stanley, Don’t Eat Bees
