From the creators of Curious George, this is the happily-ever-after story of Pretzel, the longest dachshund in the world, and the lengths he goes for puppy love. The inspiration for Pretzel and the Puppies, streaming on Apple TV+.

One morning in May, five little dachshunds are born. One grows up to be the longest of all! Pretzel easily wins a blue ribbon at the dog show and the admiration of everyone—everyone except Greta, the little dachshund across the street, who doesn't care for long dogs. But Pretzel is able to use his unique gift to win Greta over, and before long they have puppies of their very own.

This story that begins and ends with puppies is perfect for dog lovers, fans of Margret and H. A. Rey's picture books, and anyone who is a little bit different and special in their own way.

Pretzel, Greta, and their adorable puppies return in the sequel, Pretzel and the Puppies.

About the Author

Hans Augusto Rey was born in Hamburg, Germany, in 1898. As a child, he spent much of his time in that city's famous Hagenbeck Zoo, drawing animals. Hans and his wife, Margret, escaped Paris in 1940 by bicycle, carrying the manuscript for the first Curious George book. They came to live in the United States, and Curious George was published in 1941.
