A battle of wills between two small children and their puppy—two against one—makes this tale very comical and fun. Strong pleads and requests to a rambunctious puppy are consistent throughout—which are consistent with the natural issues that occur when dealing with a little puppy. The mess of ripped newspaper on the floor, spilled water, mud, and the bath (and shower for the person washing the dog) was nicely illustrated. The cultural markers of from ethnic hair and facial features of African-American heritage were also well done.
