DJ Funkyfoot: Butler for Hire! (DJ Funkyfoot #1) - (The Flytrap Files) by Tom Angleberger (Paperback)

About the Book

DJ Funkyfoot may have a name fit for a hip-hop star, but as a dog butler desperate to find a job, he takes a job as a nanny watching over a ShrubBaby that loves chaos.

Book Synopsis

DJ Funkyfoot: Butler for Hire! is the first story in a wacky spin-off chapter book series in the world of the Flytrap Files, from New York Times bestselling author Tom Angleberger and illustrator Heather Fox.

Meet DJ Funkyfoot! He's not actually a DJ--he's a chihuahua and a butler!

Meet ShrubBaby! She's an adorable baby shrub with a taste for thrills, fertilizer, and fame.

Finding a butler gig is hard these days, so DJ Funkyfoot takes a job that's ALMOST like being a butler . . . He becomes a nanny for ShrubBaby!

A nanny might say no to this baby's whims, but a good butler always says yes. So when adventure calls and ShrubBaby says, "Let's go!", DJ Funkyfoot says, "Very good, m'lady, I'll fetch your stroller."
