Illustrated by
Hannah Shaw.
Suzanne's deceased great-aunt left Beatrice, a smelly, aging Newfoundland with a host of health problems, to Suzanne's mother. The always inventive Suzanne and Anna are determined to whip Beatrice into shape--and save her from the Grim Reaper. This fourth companion to The Great Hamster Massacre showcases Davies's knack for mixing humor with life's hard truths; Shaw's doodle-like drawings match the tone.
