"The Trouble with Dogs..." Said Dad

The much-anticipated sequel to the BOSTON GLOBE-HORN BOOK Award winner "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE

Call in the dog trainer! Don’t-Care Dave, the high-energy destructive dynamo, is definitely out of control. But when the Brigadier turns up to teach this pup a few things, Dave is not the only one who learns something new. In a hugely satisfying sequel to the award-winning "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE, Bob Graham creates a funny, warmhearted story to remind us that when it comes to dogs — and their humans — it’s affection and trust, loyalty and love (and of course those silky soft ears) that really matter.

The Dog Whisperer might disapprove, but kids—who tend to rate affection above discipline and enforced exercise—will cheer for this sequel to "Let's Get a Pup!" Said Kate (2001).

Bob Graham is the author-illustrator of many beloved books for children, including "LET'S GET A PUP!" SAID KATE; JETHRO BYRD, FAIRY CHILD; DIMITY DUMPTY: THE STORY OF HUMPTY'S LITTLE SISTER; and OSCAR'S HALF BIRTHDAY, which, in a starred review, SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL called "an effortlessly multicultural story, full of the joy of childhood, family, and community." Bob Graham lives in Australia.
