The antidote to every cute fairy book The day hasn't started well
for Pugman, quite possibly the grumpiest dog ever. He has overslept,
there's nothing for breakfast, and the rain has made his newspaper
soggy. You'd be grumpy too. Then, out of nowhere, a magical and
unnecessarily cheerful fairy appears to offer Pugman three wishes. Think
you know what he'll wish for? You and the fairy are in for quite a
surprise! At last, the antidote to those seemingly endless fairy books
for kids, and what a hoot it is. Meschenmoser's delightfully disheveled
illustrations are full of wit and mischief, and its hilarious ending
will have readers cheering for our canine curmudgeon.
