Synopses & Reviews
A pampered pup takes center stage at her parents party in this charmingly hilarious picture book from film and Broadway star Nathan Lane (of
The Lion King and
The Producers fame) and Devlin Elliott!
Meet Mabel, the fanciest French bulldog the Hamptons have ever seen. Mabel is many things: sassy, classy (and sometimes a bit gassy!), but especially...naughty! Mabels always getting herself into trouble—and with style like hers, can you really blame her? When Naughty Mabels parents throw a party and try to leave her out of the fun, of course she must take matters into her own perfectly pedicured paws. As the hilarity ensues, Mabel and her parents learn that through thick and thin, naughty or nice, theyll always be a family, just as they are.
