From the publisher

Meet the marvelous Pyes—

There is Mrs. Pye, the youngest mother in town;

Mr. Pye, a famous bird man, who handles all the nation’s important bird problems;

Rachel Pye, who is so reasonable she can make unreasonable ideas sound like good ones;

Jerry Pye, who knows about rocks of all sorts and plans to grow up to be a rock man;

Uncle Bennie, who is Jerry and Rachel’s uncle—even though he’s only three years old.

Lastly is Ginger Pye, the “intellectual dog,” who Jerry bought for a hard-earned dollar. The most famous pup in all of Cranbury, Ginger knows tons of tricks, is as loyal as he is smart, and steals the hearts of everyone he meets . . . until someone steals him!
