But when the mischievous pup finally eats too much, an unexpected (and messy) surprise awaits.
• Justin Christopher has written a silly and unpredictable story that takes destruction to a whole new level.
• Engaging, exaggerated humour that kids will adore— perfect for fans of The Wonky Donkey and Pig the Pug.
