Pug pals Sunny and Rosy are back in this sequel that brings them to Grandma and Grandpa’s house for some pug-sitting while their owner is away. However, their fun and frolicking turns to worry when they are blamed for the disappearing fruits and vegetables in Grandma’s garden and subsequently banished indoors. Can they solve this mini-mystery in order to clear their names and get back to fun in the sun? There isn’t much here in terms of story and character development; the pugs are pretty interchangeable aside from Sunny as the elder and Rosy as the younger and slightly more boisterous pup, and the culprit is a pretty obvious one. However, this light-hearted quick read features adorable line drawings on every page, including pugs playing Battleship and wearing plenty of hilarious costumes. Young dog-lovers and/or reluctant readers, especially those relishing in current pug pop-culture popularity, will delight in this breezy beginner chapter book, recommended for grades 1-4.
