Illustrated by
James Proimos.
When Dad goes out of town, the family dog assumes not only his shirt and tie but also his responsibilities and personality. The narrative deflates an intriguing premise by relying on tired puns and stereotypes ("Like Dad, he wouldn't give up the remote") for its humor, which is more effectively conveyed by the large-scale book's full-page cartoony illustrations, featuring a blue dog with human proportions.
