A Dog Named Doug - by Karma Wilson (Hardcover)

About the Book

Egged on by a ground squirrel, a dog named Doug digs miles underground--taking a detour through the White House--until he returns home, goes to bed, and dreams of digging some more. Full color.

Book Synopsis

Dogs love to dig but one dog named Doug takes digging to new heights (and depths) in this laugh-out-loud picture book from New York Times bestselling author Karma Wilson and celebrated illustrator Matt Myers.

Meet Doug. Doug is a dog that loves to dig. But when Doug digs he doesn't just dig holes in the backyard.

He digs...ditches the size of tractors!
He digs...tunnels through gold mines!
He even digs his way into...the White House!

But not even the Secret Service can stop this digging doggy, because when Doug digs, oh boy, does Doug DIG!
