Introducing an irresistible new board book series filled with cute pups, big construction trucks, and laugh-out-loud humor!

It’s the first day of puppy school and Dig Doug, Puddles, and Cheddar can’t wait to start digging, building, and loading in their trucks. But when their teacher, Miss Polly, gets stuck under some rocks, they’ll have to come together and use teamwork to get her free! Closing their eyes to make the rocks disappear doesn’t work . . . so which of Miss Polly’s lessons can Dig Doug, Puddles, and Cheddar save her? Beloved children’s book author Bob Shea and illustrator Brian Won have created an endearing new board book series with the cutest construction workers around.
"Three well-intentioned pups collaborate in this lively series kickoff . . . Shea’s smartly wry narration, coupled with Won’s unlined digital art, are the ideal vehicle for this tale of cheerfully indefatigable protagonists, construction equipment, and revelation—a deadpan board book delight." —Publishers Weekly
Bob Shea is the author-illustrator of the award-winning and bestselling Dinosaur vs. Bedtime, as well as Oh, Daddy!New Socks, and I'm a Shark. He also wrote Big Plans, illustrated by Lane Smith. Bob lives in Connecticut with his family. View titles by Bob Shea

This Pup Is Stuck!, a collaboration with Bob Shea, was noted by Kirkus as "Toddlerhood lessons in an 'adurable' puppy package." A Chicago native, Brian lives with his family in Eagle Rock, California.
