A picture book so full of adventure, laughs, and rhyming fun…it should be, well, illegal! Meet Buttercup: he’s a well-behaved beagle and really quite regal! But some days, when his owner Jill is away, this precocious pup begins to play…He growls! He barks! He eats all the shoes! He teases the cat and turns cushions to chews! But mischief gets noticed, and that is fact…so what happens when this troublemaker is caught in the act? Through endearing humor and lighthearted illustrations, Sandra Ourique Gonsalves brings one canine’s clandestine adventures to life in Illegal Beagle: a touching tale that reminds us about the importance of building (and sometimes rebuilding) trust with those we love most. Perfect for readers big and small, this book will delight and bring smiles to all.
