Molly, a West Highland terrier, is supposed to be the flower girl for her owner's wedding. The dirty dog hates being groomed, so Alfie is the back-up flower kid. Alfie wants out of the wedding, and his sister, Alfreeda, wants in. But none of that matters when Molly loses the wedding rings in the doggie play yard! Which kid will save the day and find the missing rings?

Shelley Swanson Sateren lives in Minnesota with her busy, fabulous family. Her writing credits include a middle grade novel, Cat on a Hottie's Tin Roof (Delacorte/Random House), which Publishers Weekly called, "Hilarious, punny, and fun." She's had a short story appear in Highlights for Children, plus many non-fiction children's books published. Her middle grade, non-fiction book, The Humane Societies: A Voice for the Animals, received the Children's Choice award in 1997.

Shelley graduated magna cum laude with an English major from Augsburg College, Minneapolis. She returned to Augsburg a few years later and earned her K-6 teaching certificate. She worked as a bookseller at the Red Balloon Bookshop for five years and as a non-fiction children's book editor at Dillon/Macmillan for two years. Shelley enjoys leading summertime writing workshops for tweens at her local library.

In 2007, an elementary school librarian from Ohio wrote to Shelley, "Please find enclosed the filled-up circulation card for your book Cat on a Hottie's Tin Roof. Please note that this filled up in just over two years. We have some books that are original to the building (built in 1969) in which the cards are still half filled. You should be pleased.... Girls are my most avid readers, and it can be hard to keep them in amusing books which also have some more serious issues.... Thanks for writing. Good books make my job easier."

5.0 out of 5 stars Very cute!

I bought Mudball Molly for my daughter as a Christmas gift. She had been reading the books through a program that is used in school and really enjoyed this series. It is well written, easily comprehended and fun. My daughter read the book in one sitting because she couldn't tear herself away from it! She is 8 but reads on a 4th grade level. I think this book series is appropriate for her current reading level and I will definitely be finishing her collection of the Hound Hotel series! Highly recommended. I purchased this book at full retail price and all opinions expressed are based solely on my and my daughter's experience with the book.

I purchased this book for a little 5 year old girl who loves my new West highland puppy. I saw the book and knew Mia would love it. I took a quick read of the book when I received it and it's terrific.
