Sibling rivalry from the dog's point of view

A fantastic follow-up tale to the popular Rover, this hilarious adventure features one puzzled dog trying to make sense of the very strange human world that he lives in - especially when a small human arrives on the scene! The new baby, dubbed "Howler" by the dog, takes away everyone's attention and no one notices the poor pooch. Only by fathering puppies of his own is he able to bring the family together again!

Reviews

"[A] hilarious adventure . . . The universal tale of sibling rivalry is given a fresh, comical twist from the perspective of a good-natured, but baffled pet." School Library Journal

"A lively [and] droll follow-up to Rover."-Kirkus Reviews

"The narrator's self-centeredness will tickle young audiences even as his narcissism and doubt about the new arrival reflect the viewpoint of many reluctant young siblings. . .This is an entertaining dog-told story for those too young for Finney's I, Jack, and it's a highly amusing tale of dethronement and adjustment for youngsters dealing with new little Howlers in their own homes."-The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books

"Rosen's dog's-eye view of family life and the mysteries of reproduction is never arch or cloying, and Layton's . . . drawings are hilarious." The Washington Post
