Dog Breath

Dav Pilkey
(Scholastic)
978-0590135078, RRP £3.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
Buy "Dog Breath: The Horrible Trouble with Hally Tosis (Picture books)" on Amazon

'The horrible trouble with Hally Tosis' is that as a dog she's fine but she has the most amazingly bad breath. The children in the Tosis family try every way known to humans (and dogs come to that) to save her from being given away. Who would want her I've no idea. Then after surviving some of the most awful doggy puns I've read in years, a miracle happens. Making C.S. gas smell like roses, Hally finds her true purpose in life. I had to explain the joke about Hally's name to my class but after that the word spread and now everyone wants to read it.
