From the publisher

When Big Dog and Little Dog play tug-o-war with the couch cushions, the furniture ends up ruined and their person is not pleased. Best friends have to be great at sharing–in this case, sharing the blame! With deceptively simple text, graphic illustrations, and tongue-in-cheek humor, the Captain Underpants creator Dav Pilkey brings the joys of childhood friendships to life in his tales of two lovable dog pals. This Level 1 Green Light Reader will help young children build basic reading skills, while also tickling their funny bones. Parents and kids looking for skill-building activities will find a bonus activity section at the back of the book that includes a dog libs noun and verb recognition excercise, spot-the-difference game, word scramble, and more!
