Illustrated by
Tom Murphy.
Rhyming verse tells of a pug who learns to juggle, becomes famous, indulges in plenty of doggie misbehavior, and nearly gets booted from town. His promise to change appeases the townspeople, but the pug immediately ignores his pledge and poops on a friend's rug. The droll black-line illustrations accented with primary colors are much more diverting than the brief, uneven text.
