Mookie’S World

By Jane McMurtry

Ever wonder what it would be like to be a dog? Well, meet Mookie, the newest canine arrival to the literary scene. Shes cute, smart, and sassy. Learning to adapt to the world in her first year of life, she takes us on a comedic journey through house-breaking, holidays, grooming, living with a little sister she really didnt want and so much more. Curious and energetic, she has a penchant for getting into trouble and then using her cuteness to wiggle her way out.
