Memoirs of A Dog
Topanga the dog gets blamed for everything, but she’s here to tell you that the only reason the household works at all is because she’s the one in charge. Topanga wakes the family up, takes Big Guy for a run, gets the kids off to school on time, and chases off that trouble-making raccoon. And that’s not all! Will Topanga’s family ever realize what a giant role she plays in their lives? Maybe not before it’s time for her to go back to bed, she has another big day tomorrow after all.
From the author and illustrator team behind the bestselling MEMOIRS books from Sleeping Bear Press.
