Publisher Summary

Fans of Narwhal and Jelly will love this laugh-out-loud graphic novel adventure with Weenie, Frank and Beans that features a new villain: another (cuter) wiener dog named Sweetie-Pie who’s out to ruin Weenie’s good time. Meet Weenie. He loves his best friend Frank (a cat) and his other best friend Beans (a guinea pig) and Bob (the guy who takes care of them). The thing Weenie does NOT love? When another wiener dog comes along to make his life miserable by peeing on his toys, messing with Bob’s stuff (that’s Weenie’s job) and getting between Weenie and breakfast sausages. Sweetie-Pie must go . . . and Weenie’s going to be the one to get rid of him!

The Creatives Behind the Book

Author

Maureen Fergus

I never planned on becoming writer. As a kid, my favorite subjects in school were science and math — I dreamed of becoming a doctor or a pilot. At university I got degrees in science and business; afterwards, I had jobs in the aerospace, biopharmaceutical and financial services industries. I even taught business at college! I finally started writing when I was twenty-eight. My books have won awards and been translated into a dozen languages. My novels include The Gypsy King trilogy and Ortega, and my picture books include the critically acclaimed Buddy and Earl series, InvisiBill, The Day Santa Stopped Believing in Harold and The Reptile Club.
