About the Book
A Thanksgiving Dog Story You'll Never Forget!
This is the Special Color Edition with full-color illustrations.
Does your family talk about your interesting relatives? Tell tales about crazy uncles or swap stories about odd aunts? Of course! All families have lots of funny stories. But most people don't know that dogs have stories about THEIR families, too. Laura would never have believed that dogs even HAVE thoughts. Would you? But while Laura was quietly doing math homework one day, she heard a strange little voice. At first she was a scared, since most fourth-graders don't hear voices, but soon she figured out that her dog, Perdita, was transmitting "thought particles" directly into her brain. And those dog thoughts were NOT like anything Laura would have ever imagined. Can you imagine YOUR dog transmitting thoughts directly into YOUR brain? It could happen, you know.
The World, According to a Very Strange Dog
Soon Laura realized she was having an adventure no one else had ever had. She was getting crazy thoughts and crazierstories, from her DOG!
Of all things.
So . . . these books are the stories told by Perdita Whacknoodle. You've never read anything like it.
This is Perdita's FIRST book, and it's packed with stories about her very odd, very large dog family-stories about her wacky uncles, aunts, cousins, grandpas, grandmas, and her dog mother.
But most of Perdita's craziest, most exciting stories are about her father, an adventurous-and possibly lunatic-dog she calls "Par."
Par is rarely home at the farm. Instead, he's out having BIG adventures, creating chaos and excitement in cities and towns all over the country.
Wherever Par goes, the police, sheriff, dog-catchers, and school principals are right behind him--trying their best to catch him.
To hear Perdita tell it, her scalawag father, Par, has AMAZING adventures. He steals a garbage truck, drives Farmer's tractor, tries again and again to perform on the school's stage, and quickly becomes the enemy of the pompous school principal, Mr. Wimpy.
Par first meets Mr. Wimpy at the school's big Thanksgiving pageant in this book.
And that's when their battles begin, and this first battle between Par and
Wimpy ends with . . . the Turkey Snatch of Doom!
You'll quickly see that when Par battles with Mr. Wimpy, it's always a night the town--and readers--will NEVER forget!
Does Your Dog Think Like Perdita Whacknoodle?
Could YOUR dog think like Perdita?
Does YOUR dog have a secret life like Perdita's? Is that possible?
Well . . . why not?
Could YOUR dog have endless funny dog stories about his crazy family? Could YOUR dog steal an entire turkey right from the stage . . . in the middle of the big Thanksgiving pageant? Par did, and (if Perdita is telling the truth) he got away with it for a fine Thanksgiving feast.
(Of course, Par had to eat fast since all the adults were looking for him. But Par invented the famous Snatch-and-Run technique, so quick chomps while running from the police is easy for him!
One thing is sure: when you read Perdita's books for kids, you'll never, ever look at dogs the same way again.
Because, you've NEVER met a dog like Perdita!
