The Great Dog Bottom Swap

The day has arrived for the Dogs' Summer Ball. It's so high class that each dog must remove their bottom before they are allowed inside the hall. But in the middle of all the frivolity something unexpected happens and the dogs have to make a hasty exit...with or without the correct bottom!

A rollicking canine caper from Mei Matsuoka, the creator of Burger Boy and Footprints in the Snow.
