Peg Leg Peke

By Brie Spangler

PICTURE BOOK

Have you ever had a boo-boo? I've had several, and they can hurt, especially those dreaded paper cuts, which can be a daily occurrence in the life of a librarian. This story is about Peke, a cute Pekingese puppy, who has a boo-boo - a broken leg! Ouch! But, this fun-loving dog doesn't let a little boo-boo come between him and adventure. With a little imagination, he transforms into a pirate with a peg leg in search of buried treasure. Ahoy matey! Will Peke find the treasure? What do you think it will be? You'll have to read this cute story to find out. The format of the book just begs to be read aloud. One page is the reader asking questions and the facing page is Peke replying. The illustrations are simple, but adorable.
