Publisher Description
Introducing an irresistible new board book series filled with cute pups, big construction trucks, and laugh-out-loud humor!
It’s the first day of puppy school and Dig Doug, Puddles, and Cheddar can’t wait to start digging, building, and loading in their trucks. But when their teacher, Miss Polly, gets stuck under some rocks, they’ll have to come together and use teamwork to get her free! Closing their eyes to make the rocks disappear doesn’t work . . . so which of Miss Polly’s lessons can Dig Doug, Puddles, and Cheddar save her? Beloved children’s book author Bob Shea and illustrator Brian Won have created an endearing new board book series with the cutest construction workers around.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Using big trucks and deductive reasoning, three well-intentioned pups collaborate in this lively series kickoff, which toys with basics of child development. When Dig Doug, Cheddar, and Puddles take the wheels of three trucks on the first day of puppy school, they're clearly excited about the arrangement: "They are cute pups! They are in big trucks! They are...// ADURABLE!" But after some enthusiastic parallel play lodges the instructor's red jeep beneath a pile of rocks, the hounds seek to fix things, learning about object permanence ("The big rocks do not go away just because you cannot see them") and comparative sizing ("The rocks look smaller, but they are still very big and I am still very stuck") before making an inference that saves the day. Shea's smartly wry narration, coupled with Won's unlined digital art, are the ideal vehicle for this tale of cheerfully indefatigable protagonists, construction equipment, and revelation—a deadpan board book delight. Ages up to 3.
