Purchase options and add-ons

The author of the beloved Kipper series teams up with his daughter to tell the heartwarming story of a sweat-band-wearing pug who just can’t seem to do the right thing.

Dog is very badly behaved—he destroys everything, chases cars, rolls in poo, and won’t stop running away! But when he finds himself lost and alone there is one person he knows he can always count on.

Chloë Inkpen’s sweet illustrations bring warmth and humor to this delightful story of family and unconditional love.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 2—A large-eyed pup tries to follow the rules and learn his role within a household in this tale of unconditional love. Perfect as a read-aloud, the rhyming text highlights a first-person narrative of the little dog's confused patter. Humorous cartoon images feature pencil and watercolor drawings of his red-haired, bespectacled young owner; hugs; soulful expressions; and many views of running feet. "Stop!…Quit!…Leave!…Sit!" The commands continue, and the pooch feels he cannot do anything right and promptly runs away. But running away, day after day, merely creates more chaos, especially when he encounters cats or cows. As frustration between adults and pet rises, the threat of leaving the household permanently escalates when a crack of thunder propels a confused and frightened puppy into life-threatening danger on rain-drenched nighttime streets. VERDICT With a reassuring rescue, a bit of humor, and a heartwarming resolution, this is a recommended purchase for most libraries.—Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TX

Our family has enjoyed Kipper for years. I came across this book when purchasing the Kipper Collection for our youngest. It is a cute, poetic story that any puppy or rescue family can understand. It is well written and comically illustrated. This is fun bedtime read over and over again.

This book is so adorable and teaches a great lesson. My only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the book showed up damaged, the cover was ripped. Otherwise, I’m very satisfied with my purchase.

This was THE favorite book for both of my kids when they were young. We have read it aloud to 3 classrooms, and every time, I get an email afterward from the teacher asking for the author and title so they can purchase it for their classroom. It is wonderful for reading aloud, especially if you are theatrical, and the kids are spellbound every time.

No home library should be without this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars A keeper for dog-obsessed little and big kids.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 21, 2019
Verified Purchase
I absolutely adore the Fred books, and so does my dog-obsessed three year old. I can’t help thinking that this is as close as we’ll get to be inside the mind of an excitable pup. The writing is perfect, lovely to read and for little one to join in and the illustrations are really endearing. I’m actually tempted to buy both for a colleague at work who has a puppy because I think she’d relate to it so much.

A lot of fun. Read it to my housemate (a fully grown adult) and she was in stitches. Looking forward to giving it to my niece at Christmas as I think she will love it. As always from Mick & Chloe Inkpen, a very sweet and funny storyline and beautiful illustrations.
