"A story of a blended family-- from the pets' point of view!"--

Buzz is a very good boy, who lives in a fancy house, eats well, and has equally well-behaved (boring) friends--but sometimes he would really like to break free, run fast, dig holes, and play with the other dogs.

"The dog is sick today, but have no fear--the cat is happy to take his place! But when the book (who is very bossy) tells her to dig a hole, the dirt-averse cat finds a way to accomplish the task while keeping her fur pristine. And when the book demands that she fetch a stick (in the water!) or guard a sheep (from a wolf!), the cat responds in very un-doglike ways. Can the book and the cat reach a happy ending?"--

In rhyming text, Princess Truly uses her strength and her magical curls to help her friends, rescue her dog from a tire swing, and win a prize at the carnival.

"Buddy does not know what is in the box that Meredith carries into the living room. But when the small, prickly creature says he is a pirate -- and that Buddy is a pirate too -- the two mismatched friends are off on a grand adventure."-- Provided by the publisher.

"See Max. Max is not a cat-Max is a dog. But much to Max's dismay, the book keeps instructing readers to "see the cat." How can Max get through to the book that he is a DOG? In a trio of stories for beginning readers, author David LaRochelle introduces the excitable Max, who lets the book know in irresistibly emphatic dialogue that the text is not to his liking. Illustrator Mike Wohnoutka hilariously depicts the pup's reactions to the narrator and...
