REVIEW
Doggo likes his life. He enjoys being the cook waker, nap taker, bug stalker, girl walkercrumb eater, mail greeter, and other things. Even when his people aren't around, Doggo has lots of things he enjoys doing such as cooking, drumming, dancing, etc. He's not as exciting as he used to be but he's content, at least that's what Cat says. When his humans bring home Pupper, Doggo is not pleased. Pupper changes everything and brings utter chaos. After attending puppy school, Pupper returns well-trained and well-behaved, but it's clear he isn't happy. Doggo sets out to change this and discovers that maybe he has some puppy left in him after all. Applegate's brief text is just perfect for young readers with the use of some great descriptive vocabulary. The bright colorful illustrations convey the delightful nature of Doggo, Pupper, and Cat. They also provide a good deal of humor as readers see the animals doing things that are distinctly NOT animal like (driving a car?!). Young readers are bound to have a load of fun as they follow along on Doggo and Pupper's adventures.
