Elvis & Romeo - (An Elvis & Romeo Book) by David Soman & Jacky Davis (Hardcover)

About the Book

"Elvis loves to sleep and doesn't like running around or playing hide and seek. He can't wait to go the dog park and have a nice, quiet nap. Romeo loves to rush and race around, howl, and fetch sticks. He can't wait to go to the dog park and make a new friend. Elvis and Romeo's burgeoning friendship doesn't exactly get off to the most promising start when they meet... But little by little, these polar-opposite pooches may just become the c loset of canines after all"--

Book Synopsis

From the bestselling creators of the Ladybug Girl series comes a picture book about the misadventures of two very different dogs who become unlikely friends.

Elvis, the bulldog, just wants a little peace and quiet.

Romeo, the doodle, really wants to make new friends, and play at the dog park.

When they first meet, it seems Elvis and Romeo have nothing in common. But little by little, these polar-opposite pooches may just become the closest of canines.
