Pete the poodle’s beloved life at the circus has suddenly gone sour. So Pete runs away to become a lapdog for the rich and famous Airhead Heiress. Wait a Pete a pet? Turns out, Pete does have second thoughts about leaving the spotlight, but a show stopping twister breezes in and leaves him no choice—it takes Rita the chimp for a ride, too. From their respective crash landings, the oddly matched Pete and Rita find themselves on a big adventure—like it or not. Warm, witty, and humorously illustrated, this spectacularly attractive package won’t disappoint Pete’s adoring fans—and it’s sure to make him new ones.
Pete, a circus dog, has a disagreement with his partner and bites both her and the ringmaster. When the others give him the silent treatment, he decides to disappear right as a tornado comes by. Good book for 3rd-4th graders.
