Meet Phoebe. A precocious pug who delights in shenanigans which drive her frazzled owner to declare she will give her pup away!

Laugh along with the snorting, snoring and gaseous clown of the canine world as its owner struggles to reign in the messes and mayhem of a new addition. But there is nothing that a few licks and cuddles can't fix, right?

A true delight that any family can relate to, "Ode to a Pug" is full of heart... and a lot of slobber.

The first in a series of fun, adorably illustrated, read-aloud stories perfect for children ages 2-8 and dog lovers of all ages!

Industry Reviews

"Ode to a Pug is a sweet and funny exploration of what unconditional love looks like."

       -The Children's Book Review


?"An incredibly cute story! If you have ever known anyone with a pug, then you know just how true this story rings. The rhyming story will grab any child's attention, especially when they hear about the pug tooting! The story flowed well. This book really showcased that special love we have for our animal companions (fur babies). I also wanted to point out that I truly enjoyed that the dog's owner was a bigger woman - I think that representation isn't often seen in kids books. As a bigger woman myself I was truly inspired. Overall I think this is a great book and your children will love it too!"

-The Mama Spot



"We loved this book, we laughed and had a few moments of omg really! This was an excellently written children's book and I highly recommend to kids of all ages and maybe even adults too, like my friend! LOL, no seriously, she would love it!"

I would recommend this cute and fun book, dog owners will definitely recognize scenarios in this farty pug + frazzled owner story!"

Twirling Book Princess Reviews, Five Star Review


"This picture book consists of short, clever rhymes and simple, cartoon-like illustrations that will delight young children and adults alike.  Anyone who has owned a puppy will empathize with the owner and feel her mixed emotions."
