Pug is snug on his rug. Then along comes Bug with a claim to the rug! The two engage in a hysterical battle of wits in this comedic tit-for-tat tale until Slug asks the necessary questions to help them find common ground.
This fun and epic read aloud is a sweet tale of friendship, compromise, owning mistakes, and accepting differences that will engage young readers through word play and rollicking rhyme.
