Synopses & Reviews
Its a fine life for Won Ton with his boy . . . until "Doom" arrives—a dog, that is. Won Ton couldnt be more disgruntled to have to deal with this smelly, dinner-stealing interloper. But he soon discovers that his new family member might just have a few good points, too.This sequel to the award-winning Won Ton is a brilliantly crafted, archly funny, and entirely universal tale of adoption and siblinghood.
