Dog lovers unite! Find a leash and chase down this hilarious day-in-the-life ode to an unstoppable, odiferous, furry family member who may seem very familiar.
Meet Peggy—a very naughty dog who gets into a lot of trouble. Some of the things she loves doing: leaping on the bed in the morning and sticking her hairy bottom in Dad's face. Sweeping her human family off their feet with her favorite sticks. And most of all, rolling in everything stinky and smelly she can find! And that's not even the naughtiest thing she does . . . But do you think her family loves her anyway? Open the windows for this happy, bighearted story about a beloved puppy named Peggy—a story that delights in the smelly but cherished canine family members that we couldn't do without.

      Meet this pungent pooch! A youngster named Pie introduces readers to the family pet, Peggy, a rescue dog who is small with curly gray fur. Pie informs us that while Peggy may seem nice, she's actually quite naughty. Whenever Pie, Mom, and Dad take Peggy out for a walk, Peggy grabs sticks that are so large that they knock the legs out from under the whole family. But the naughtiest thing Peggy does is roll around in foul-smelling things, such as seaweed, washed-up trash, and...poop! After Peggy returns home and gets her poopy smell all over the rug and Pie's clean pajamas, it's time to wash up. Peggy dislikes showers, so when she's all done, she makes sure to shake off, splashing water all over the place. In spite of it all, her family loves her. Light on plot, this book is ideal for dog lovers, since it's basically an ode to one particularly mischievous canine. Told from Pie's perspective, the conversational text engages readers with some "What do you think?" questions ("But do you think we love her? Do we?"). It also provides little ones opportunities to shout out "PEGGGGGY!" along with the family. Young Pie shows some responsibility by bathing Peggy. The quaint watercolor and crayon illustrations play with perspectives, much like a modern take on Ludwig Bemelmans' style. The three-person family is pale-skinned and red-haired. Simple and pretty cute.(Picture book. 3-5)
