Daddy and son doodlebug do a lot together, including visiting the zoo, taking their "poodlebug" for a walk, riding "the caboodle car on the train," and playing "hoodle and seekbug in the dark." The silly rhyming text is awkward in spots but generally playful and celebrates a warm father/son relationship. Degen's richly colored gouache artwork provides a whimsical glimpse into the doodlebugs' six-legged world.
