By Leigh Anne Jasheway. 1996
Here's a book that will make dog owners sit up and beg for more. It's Leigh Anne Jasheway's Bedtime Stories…
For Dogs, a hilarious volume for pampered pets and their human parents. From tales like "The Three Little Pugs" to "Snow White and the Seven Chihuahuas, "Bedtime Stories" entertains everyone who's ever had--or loved--a spoiled canine.The tales in Bedtime Stories are written just the way dogs like things--they're short and simple, they have happy endings, they usually involve food, and they frequently refer to things that smell really awful. Each one of these stories was proofed (and woofed) by the author's two wiener dogs: "If they didn't give a story two paws up and two tails wagging, it was back to the drawing board," she says. This is the perfect treat for anyone: *Whose dog has control of the remote (and flips when watching dog food commercials *Whose dog occasionally allows him to sleep in the bed (but only if he doesn't hog the covers!) *Who doesn't even notice the dog hairs in their food *Who carries their dog when he gets winded. Anyone who has a canine companion will want this charming book. It's a bow-wow bedtime bible!Scaredy Squirrel at the Beach (Scaredy Squirrel #3)
