Description

A silly, playful, and multilayered picture book for kids (and grownups) who adore dogs and giggling.

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, as time spent together playing banjo and swimming in the river shows the girl. Until, that is, she spots a WANTED poster and begins to wonder: Could these be bad dogs?

Featured Reviews

When dogs move in next door, a little girl is excited even if they are a little wild. She soon realizes though they are thieves. I thought this was cute but the ending felt abrupt - I thought maybe they would come back but nope, just ends!

This delightful story captures the whimsical chaos of new canine neighbors who turn a girl's world upside down. While their bacon-stealing antics test her patience, their charm and playful spirit soon win her over. The twist of the WANTED poster adds a layer of intrigue, making readers question whether these lovable mutts are hiding a secret. It's a heartwarming tale of unexpected friendships and the surprises they bring.
