A dog park adventure with pugs. Another winner my granddaughter says.

This was a cute, silly book. My son (7) enjoys these types of books and wanted me to read it. He asked me to rate it 5 stars because he loved this book! I'd give it 4 from my perspective, but yes, it was good. It's a good story about making new friends. I would recommend this book for young readers who are looking for something fun to read.

Going to a dog park for the first time can be scary, especially when there are alien pugs bent on taking over earth. But Ember and his friends figure out what they must do to survive and thrive at the dog park.

My students just love this series!

My first book read this year was funny with the dogs named Scone, Tomato, Fusilli, Spaghettio, Macaroni, and Ravioli😂🍝

It was a quick read but not a lot of action in this book
