A town becomes instantly famous when one special pug begins to juggle. But the pug is also mischievous, messy, and quite naughty. He digs holes in the yard, drinks all the soda in the fridge, and even poops on the rug! This continues until, finally, a little girl has had enough. It’s only when the town calls a meeting to deal with this new nuisance that the pug must learn to control his behavior, or else!From the award-winning author and illustrator of A Girl and Her Gator comes a story that will teach kids how to juggle good behavior and the limelight. Now in a new edition (with updated jacket and smaller trim size), Bryan’s wacky rhyming and Murphy’s witty illustrations are sure to entertain young readers and parents alike.
