Mr. And Mrs. Puddle can’t agree on anything, including what to name their daughter who is now 8. They have been in their summer cottage in the country, are returning back to their city apartment, and forget to take the dogs. The dogs have one adventure; the Puddles have another. Of the two, the dogs’ adventure is more easily understood. This is a confusing book but might tickle the fancy of an 8-year old boy or girl. I'm sorry, I hate to disagree with everyone, but I really didn't like this book. The writing was so annoying, I almost didn't even finish it. I can see where it was supposed to be funny but in the end it was just all-around boring to me. I had to plod through every page. To be fair I think I should mention that I did laugh (inside) twice. My main thought while reading was "Just say it already!" Some of the ramblings didn't even make sense, which sort of ruined it for me. I know. It's what the author was aiming for, but to me it was just the same joke over and over. I gave it two stars because I think Kindergarten age children might think it's funny with all those bumbling, crazy adults. It was a nice idea but could have been executed better. Oh well...

These people are crazy fun! The text and illustrations work great together.

This is a fairly amusing book--I especially liked the dogs' point of view.
