Frustrated with botched burglaries, Shifty and Sam hatch a plan to steal from their neighbors while hosting a tea party. The guests are wowed by the robber dogs' homemade goodies before they catch on. With a little encouragement, the pooches are swayed from a life of crime to one of baking. Mixed-media illustrations of comical canines and colorful cupcakes pair with witty rhymes.
