An old dog has to welcome a new puppy to the household, in this chapter book -- perfect for sharing with fans of Frog and Toad--by beloved #1 New York Times bestselling author Katherine Applegate.
Doggo is used to things being a certain way in his family. He likes routine. Cat says he’s become boring. That is, until Pupper shows up!
Pupper is playful and messy, and turns the house upside down. Soon, the humans realize that Pupper needs some training, and off he goes to puppy school.
When Pupper comes back, he’s well-behaved. He’s not playful. He’s not messy. But Doggo soon realizes that Pupper also isn’t happy. So Doggo steps in to help, and rediscovers what it means to have fun.
Doggo and Pupper launches a delightful new series by beloved author Katherine Applegate, featuring illustrations by Charlie Alder.

What reviewers said
"Applegate’s series starter for the younger set utilizes wonderful humor and timing, deftly capturing the personalities and situations with easy accessibility. Alder’s colorful cartoon illustrations ramp up the silliness ... A winning new series."
"Applegate’s simple text and Alder’s comedic cartoons come together like a short animated film, just right for amusing early readers."
"Alder’s bark-out-loud illustrations are cartoon-like and colorful.... The text is spaced to train a young reader’s eyes to scan from the top of the page to bottom. Containing seven short chapters, this tale is a great match for children on the path to chapter books."
"The start of a beautiful canine friendship....This sweet, seven-chapter early-reader series opener employs simple language, with several short sentences per page and lots of dialogue, to bring these close friends and their fun adventures to endearing life; young readers will be charmed. The colorful illustrations that combine collage and digital techniques are lively and expressive."
