Book SynopsisFrom a therapy dog to a mayor dog and even a lobster-diving dog, the possibilities will surprise you! But, of course, there is one job that dogs love more than any other: being a best friend.Trade Review“Each image reminds readers of what they love best about their pooches: their tenacity and steadfastness, whether at home or on the job.” — Publishers Weekly “Charmingly flipping the notion of imagining what dogs may do or feel while their people are away, this playful picture book also provides an entertaining approach to introducing various working dogs and their jobs in an affectionate homage to various contributions to human lives, beyond just being beloved companions. Delightful, vibrant, and boldly outlined illustrations extend the text, depicting an inclusive array of dogs, children, and adults and incorporating amusing details (one building’s address is “K9”) and sweet moments.” — Booklist “The joy in the illustrations is palpable, and seeing the many ways dogs help humans will be especially touching to dog lovers…. A solid choice for dog lovers and those who want to better appreciate how dogs help humans.” — Kirkus Reviews “In this entertaining picture book, the skills used in actual jobs done by all kinds of very good dogs—from therapy dog to truffle-sniffing dog to (somewhat alarmingly!) dog mayor—are shown in parallel to the traits that make canines great companions.” — Horn Book Magazine

Zondervan Pugtato Babysits the Snouts
Book SynopsisWhat do you get when you cross imaginative and loveable characters, enchanting and inspiring illustrations and a giggle-inducing story? ...Pugtato, a simple, good spud and a hilarious mashup of pet and vegetable characters by the inimitable illustrator Sophie Corrigan! Join Pugtato as he takes on the job of babysitting the Brussels Snouts.Pugtato thinks babysitting will be easy … how much trouble can baby Brussels Snouts get into? But as the day unfolds, the rambunctious little Snouts decide to show Pugtato they are not little babies, and prove that size doesn’t matter when it comes to having lots of fun with your good spuddies.Pugtato Babysits the Snouts delivers: A delightful, giggle-inducing, rhyming, read-aloud story perfect for kids ages 4-8 Imaginative, silly pet and vegetable mashups such as Pugtato, Tomatoad, Carrat, Cowbbage, Croccoli, Unicorn on the Cob and more! A beautiful, eye-catching coverTrade ReviewPugtato finds his inner child when he babysits a trio of young mischief-makers. Pugtato--who has the face of a pug, two tiny arms, and a spud body--agrees to watch three little Brussels snouts, who resemble green piglets, while their parents shop. He has little idea how energetic and creative these wee ones are. When Pugtato tries to carry them, they declare that they're not babies and carry him instead. All set to work painting potted plants with some artichicks; the snouts add adornments like pompoms and sequins. When a yellow bell pupper passes by, skipping rope with a length of twine, the snouts declare they need to try it, too. With a long piece of twine, they fashion a tightrope; Pugtato cycles across it on a bicycle with the snouts holding on. Next comes a splashfest, triggered by the antics of some baby croccolis. One of the snouts finds a hose and turns a bucket into a nifty pool. Pugtato doesn't want to swim without a bathing suit, so the snouts fashion him a big diaper. After so much activity, Pugtato falls asleep. When he wakes, the snout parents are back, and the little snouts want to know if they can babysit Pugtato again. Corrigan's text, relayed in rhyming couplets, is a punny delight, and her cute pictures have a childlike feel. Children who may never have imagined that veggies could be made so adorable might well find themselves looking at their dinner plates with new eyes. Pugtato is ridiculously appealing. Wordplay and antics geared to the very young funny bone. * Kirkus Reviews, July 15, 2021 *

Book SynopsisIf you are a dog lover, you will enjoy New York Times bestselling author Melanie Shankle’s debut children’s book, Piper & Mabel. Melanie shares the adventures of her two very wild but very good dogs, Piper and Mabel, who have an experience of their own when their owners plan a vacation to the beach. The dog duo is shocked to discover they won’t be joining their people on the trip. Instead, they’re headed to doggie day care at the Happy Trails Ranch, where they create all kinds of mischief when they discover the accommodations are not exactly what they were expecting. And when they decide to take matters into their own paws, they end up on one crazy journey. Humorous story, perfect for children ages 4-8 If your kids loved Secret Life of Pets, they’ll enjoy reading about Piper and Mabel Shankle is the author of four books, co-hosts The Big Boo Cast and is the hTrade ReviewShankle, best known for her devotional titles for adults, pivots to picture books. Based on the author's own dogs, Piper and Mabel are 'two very wild but very good dogs' who love each other and their humans. When the family begins discussing a trip to the beach, Piper and Mabel eagerly look forward to joining in the family vacation only to discover that they will not be going to the shore. Piper and Mabel are off to Happy Tails Ranch, whose appealing brochure summons visions of spa-like farm fun for the canine companions, even if going with the family would be their first choice. The actual ranch is underwhelming and even scary for the pooches; the food isn't great, they are forced to take baths, and there are no facials to be found, so they decide to make a break for it. Though lost for a time, they sniff their way to safety and back to their family, where they wanted to be all along. It's cute and satisfying, but this ground's been trod many times before. Watkins' soft edges and pastel hues lend a cozy yet energetic aesthetic, reassuring readers that even when Piper and Mabel are lost, all will turn out right in the end ... Family-friendly dog stories will always find eager audiences ... (Picture book. 4-8) * Kirkus *
