New York Times Bestseller "With tongue firmly in cheek, the dynamic Stevens sisters have crafted a multilayered story that looks at various situations in the life of an average dog.... It's a great read just for fun, and teachers will find a wealth of ways to incorporate it into lessons on letter writing, newspapers, and presenting information through graphs." --School Library Journal "Three licks ("People call it kisses. We call it dessert.") for the Stevens sisters." --Kirkus Reviews, starred review THE GREAT FUZZ FRENZY "The Stevens sisters prove that there's a lot of mileage to be gained from a wacky premise and some roly-poly prairie dogs.... Stevens's watercolors make heroes of these curious critters. She plunges readers into an animated, earthy underworld, endows her furry cast with winning goofiness and turns the winged symbol of America into a figure of fear." --Publishers Weekly, starred review "A wonderful addition for storyhours, this title will be requested again and again." --School Library Journal, starred review
