TumTum is the most cushy and cuddly dog in the town. His new
family adores him when they bring him home--all except for Percy,
the family''s "other "dog. TumTum knows lots of tricks, has a
beautiful white fluffy coat, and even receives the Pet of the Year
award. Jealous of TumTum''s adoring fans, Percy hatches a brilliant
plan to make TumTum less cute which happens to involve a haircut.
But not soon after, Percy finds himself quite disappointed when
everyone in town loves TumTum''s new ''do, and it becomes an emerging
trend! There are many lessons for Percy to learn, including making
friends with new dogs is way more fun than being the odd dog
out.
Jen Hill''s illustrations feature retro-styled art--some done in
black-and-white--which is perfectly fitting for her charming story
about two dogs with clashing personalities. Just like bringing a
new baby home from the hospital to a less than enthusiastic
sibling, children with younger brothers and sisters will certainly
relate to this delightful picture book.
Winner of a 3x3 International Children''s Show No. 9 Merit Award
