Stop Bugging Me

Smudge the dog is busy. He has a secret errand to run, and it isn't anybody’s business. But not one of his friends not Piggie, nor Fuzzie, nor Scribbles, nor Foggie listens to his pleas. This charming and disarming story, about a curmudgeon who is loved in spite of himself by his faithful flock of friends, will win over readers of all ages.
