Sweet & Silly Muppet Poems

by Jack Prelutsky, Joe Ewers (Illustrator)

Wouldn't it be nice if a child could choose a dog for its personality?

With Fluppy Dogs, that's exactly what a child can do -- choose from among the six color-keyed personality types: Fanci Flup, Cuddle Flup, Brave Flup, Silly Flup, Cool Flup, and Shy Flup. Then it's up to the child to give the dog a name all its own.

Based on the popular stuffed toy, these books invite you to enter the colorful, adventurous world of the Fluppy Dogs, where a home and a name lie just around the corner for the right dog -- and the right child.
