My passion for pugs began many years ago long before they became the fashionable dog to own. For the next thirty years or so, there has been a pug by my side. They are loyal, cute, funny, energetic, adorable and at times, a little smelly! I have written this little tale for my ever so cute and much loved grandson Isaac so that he will always know of the three other little beings that meant so much to me and will always have a large piece of my heart. I hope that you enjoy reading this short story with your children.

And Hope has to keep it all a secret from her beloved, Manhattan DA Ben Brown.

For Hope McNeill, pugs are love, happiness, freedom. With no time or apartment space for a pug of her own, Pug Hill in Central Park is her one refuge from her mismatched boyfriend, her hopeless coworker crush, and the biggest crisis of all--a speech for her parents' 40th wedding anniversary.
Children's fiction about the adventures of a pug dog named Zelda.
Initially, gallery manager Jane Laine isn't very impressed with "it" artist Ian Rhys-Fitzsimmons. Which could be kind of a problem, since she's the one who has to accompany him on a five-month international art fair tour. To get through it all, Jane figures she'll be a good sport and keep her critiques to herself. She's preoccupied enough with mending her own broken heart, re-thinking her career path, and dealing with her Schnauzer-obsessed family. But now, traveling with this alleged genius from London to Rome and beyond, she starts to understand the connection between art and loveāand the fact that in both, perspective is everything.
"Kirk Scroggs is one of my favorite author/illustrators." --Dav Pilkey, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Captain Underpants and Dog Man series. WARNING! UNLESS YOU HAVE EXPRESS PERMISSION FROM RUSSELL WEINWRIGHT TO ACCESS HIS NOTEBOOK, DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER. SERIOUSLY, WE MEAN IT. Okay, if you are still with us, here is what we can share: Russell is a middle schooler; he excessively doodles; he has two best friends, Charlotte and Preston; he is not so great at sports; and he is pond scum. Nicknamed "Swamp Kid" by his classmates, Russell has algae for hair, a tree trunk for a right arm, and a carrot for a finger. Also, Russell's favorite meal is sunlight. Also, a frog lives in his arm. In this notebook, Russell details in both hilarious text and color illustrations (complete with ketchup stains!) what it's like to be different, to discover his true talents, to avoid the intense stare of Mr. Finneca (his suspicious science teacher who may also be a mad scientist), and to find humor in the everyday weird. This is The Secret Spiral of Swamp Kid by writer and illustrator Kirk Scroggs, and you'll never look at middle school the same way again.
'Pug Sheridan' proves herself to be a lively protagonist and a sure-footed storyteller in a compelling coming-of-age chronicle set in turn-of-the-century rural Alabama. At the outset, Pug looks back upon the decade that will form her narrative and begins her tale with trepidation: The man I shot had friends whose hearts and minds remain as closed as his once was. It has become my habit to listen for footsteps behind me in the dark...As I stir the smouldering ashes of the past, I can feel the searing heat on my face. Here is a first-person voice that is both sassy and poetic. Pug's 'confession' builds, inexorably, toward what appears to be a justified homicide. Pug forms indelible friendships...
