WHAT YOUNG MIDDLE GRADE READERS WANT: Highly illustrated fiction is exactly what kids love, and this series is perfect for those looking for something more advanced than chapter books but not quite ready for picture-free reading.

DOGS STAY A KID FAVORITE: Kids can't seem to get enough of stories about humans' four-legged friends. With series such as Dogman and Dog Diaries retaining their popularity, the Good Dogs add to an evergreen canon of doggy-stories kids continue to flock to.

TWO PAPERBACKS AT ONCE: Just as we published Books 1 & 2 in POB simultaneously, the first two paperbacks will publish at the same time, with Book 3 coming in summer 2022.

4 IS THE MAGIC NUMBER: With Books 1 & 2 out simultaneously in March, we're gearing up to have 4 books on shelves in just over 1 year!

SOME RULES ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN, BUT NOT ALL: Our dogs learn that while perfection isn't always necessary, some rules can keep you and those that you love safe and happy.

IRRESISTIBLE AUTHOR DUO: Rachel and David have both worked in comedy for over a decade, and their comedic chemistry is undeniable even through a screen at virtual events.

ONE OF A KIND ILLUSTRATIONS: Tor's expressive, quirky illustration style, compared to that of her hero, William Steig, adds layers to the dogs' hilarity.
