From the publisher
It’s a child’s wish come true. Mercer Mayer’s famous Little Critter character has brought home a puppy. His parents will let him keep it if he takes care of the puppy himself. Little Critter agrees. He feels he is doing a good job, but the funny illustrations make it clear that the puppy is a lot of work – and even a lot of trouble. Does Little Critter think he puppy is worth it? Yes, yes, and yes, again.
