Chick 'n' Pug Meet the Dude (Chick 'n' Pug #2)
by Jennifer Sattler (Author)
He's taller than the Chrysler Building. He drools more than a baby sucking on a piece of Jello. Dog people will revere him. Chick and Pug know him only as . . . The Dude.
When the larger-than-life Dude ambles into Pug's territory and steals Squeaky Hamburger, Pug's most favorite chew toy, Chick is ready to take down the slobbering scoundrel. But that would require making Pug get up. . . . Will Chick save the day? Will Pug nap through all the best parts? One thing's for sure: The Dude has arrived. Stay tuned!

PRES-K—The characters introduced in Chick 'n' Pug (Bloomsbury, 2010) love having exciting adventures and being superheroes, but sometimes they just like to relax, play with Pug's toys, and nap. One day, they awake to find their favorite toy missing. Chick immediately sets out to find Squeaky Hamburger, and Pug stays behind to keep an eye out for the thief and snooze some more. The culprit turns out to be The Dude, a new dog in the neighborhood, huge, hairy, and slobbery. By this time, Squeaky Hamburger has turned into Squishy, Slimy Hamburger, and Pug and Chick eagerly relinquish it to their large but friendly new acquaintance. The back cover shows Chick swimming in The Dude's water bowl and Pug happily doing his favorite thing-napping-and in the foreground are enormous paw prints circling both intrepid friends. Done with acrylics and colored pencil, the illustrations are humorous and wonderfully drawn; although huge, there is never any doubt that The Dude is friendly and playful. Chick's tiny size and greatly exaggerated facial expressions add to the fun. A storytime winner and a great choice for dog lovers.—Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA
