Hugo is just a little puppy, ready to start his perfect day of adventuring. After a series of unfortunate events, Hugo comes back home tired, stinky, and muddy. Did he have a perfect day after all? You bet he did!

Hugo is the reason why I don’t do dogs. They get into everything and become a muddy, stinky mess. But for someone who loves dogs and/or has a pug, they would love this book. As far as teaching with this book, there are lots of examples of onomatopoeia in the book that can be fun to reinforce how writers use sound words to show action in the story.
