Another Whacknoodle Christmas Disaster!If you're read any of Perdita Whacknoodle's other dog story books, you know that the Whacknoodle family of crazy dogs creates disasters wherever they go. Why should Christmas be any different?In these two Christmas stories for kids, Perdita tells all about her father, a dog she calls “Par,” and his crazy attempts to enjoy Christmas in the country. Par is an adventurous scalawag, and he’s also the most wanted dog ever—wanted by sheriffs, police, and dog-catchers everywhere. When you read her books, you'll understand why.A Sudden Massive Mashed Potato ExplosionIt’s Christmas in the country, and the house is all decorated. Excited guests arrive for Farmer’s fancy Christmas dinner. What could possibly go wrong? A LOT, when the Whacknoodle family is involved.When Par tries to enjoy the family's spectacular Christmas feast, things suddenly go very, very wrong and Par creates a most unexpected Christmas explosion.But Par is a quick-thinking dog! He keeps his head, even in the midst of everyone's confusion, and he manages to snatch a wonderful Christmas dinner for himself before he escapes. The story doesn’t end with the mashed-potato explosion, and Par creates a LOT more excitement before he finally eludes the angry humans.But Par is very happy, and he knows he’s made the Christmas feast something no one will ever forget!The Christmas Carol of Doom In the second long story in this children's chapter book,“The Christmas Carol of Doom,” Par’s elaborate plans to bring holiday cheer to the town of Dahlonega backfires in a very big way. In this story, Par, and his canine singing group (“The Twelve Dogs of Christmas”) plan to sing carols around the town. Of course, they expect lots of free food in return.Somehow, it doesn’t work out that way, and there is another big surprise, lots of exploding Christmas decorations, and an epic battle with Par's sworn enemy Mr. Wimpy.And once again, the dogs escape JUST as the police arrive!By the end of the dogs' first-ever holiday concert, Mr. Wimpy, is NOT at all filled with Christmas cheer.But amazingly, in the midst of the chaos and confusion, Par and his dog friends discover their own idea of the real spirit of Christmas. And for once, Laura (who writes all Perdita's stories down) thinks that, even in the midst of all their nutty adventures, Perdita and her wacky dog family may be right.

A Thanksgiving Dog Story You'll Never Forget!Does your family talk about your interesting relatives? Tell tales about crazy uncles or swap stories about odd aunts?Of course! All families have lots of funny stories. But most people don’t know that dogs have stories about THEIR families, too. Laura would never have believed that dogs even HAVE thoughts. Would you?But while Laura was quietly doing math homework one day, she heard a strange little voice. At first she was a scared, since most fourth-graders don’t hear voices, but soon she figured out that her dog, Perdita, was transmitting “thought particles” directly into her brain. And those dog thoughts were NOT like anything Laura would have ever imagined. Can you imagine YOUR dog transmitting thoughts directly into YOUR brain? It could happen, you know. The World, According to a Very Strange DogSoon Laura realized she was having an adventure no one else had ever had. She was getting crazy thoughts and crazierstories, from her DOG! Of all things.So . . . these books are the stories told by Perdita Whacknoodle. You’ve never read anything like it.This is Perdita's FIRST book, and it's packed with stories about her very odd, very large dog family—stories about her wacky uncles, aunts, cousins, grandpas, grandmas, and her dog mother. But most of Perdita’s craziest, most exciting stories are about her father, an adventurous—and possibly lunatic—dog she calls “Par.” Par is rarely home at the farm. Instead, he’s out having BIG adventures, creating chaos and excitement in cities and towns all over the country.Wherever Par goes, the police, sheriff, dog-catchers, and school principals are right behind him--trying their best to catch him. To hear Perdita tell it, her scalawag father, Par, has AMAZING adventures. He steals a garbage truck, drives Farmer’s tractor, tries again and again to perform on the school’s stage, and quickly becomes the enemy of the pompous school principal, Mr. Wimpy.Par first meets Mr. Wimpy at the school's big Thanksgiving pageant in this book. And that's when their battles begin, and this first battle between Par and Wimpy ends with . . . the Turkey Snatch of Doom!You'll quickly see that when Par battles with Mr. Wimpy, it's always a night the town--and readers--will NEVER forget!Does Your Dog Think Like Perdita Whacknoodle?Could YOUR dog think like Perdita? Does YOUR dog have a secret life like Perdita's? Is that possible?Well . . . why not?Could YOUR dog have endless funny dog stories about his crazy family? Could YOUR dog steal an entire turkey right from the stage . . . in the middle of the big Thanksgiving pageant? Par did, and (if Perdita is telling the truth) he got away with it for a fine Thanksgiving feast. (Of course, Par had to eat fast since all the adults were looking for him. But Par invented the famous Snatch-and-Run technique, so quick chomps while running from the police is easy for him! One thing is sure: when you read Perdita’s books for kids, you’ll never, ever look at dogs the same way again.Because, you've NEVER met a dog like Perdita!

Perdita Whacknoodle Is Back With NEW Christmas Stories For This YearJust in time for Christmas, the world’s oddest dog-author presents two NEW stories from her outrageous and wacky family, In these two funny dog stories about Perdita’s father, “Par Whack,” you’ll see that he does his very, very best to bring holiday cheer to the townspeople of Dahlonegee. Why Can’t People Be More Like Dogs?Perdita, who tells these stories about her crazy relatives and dog friends, wants to help humans be happier. She thinks learning to be more like dogs is just what people need. So, no matter how outlandish Par’s actions are in these stories, Perdita is convinced that readers can learn important lessons from reading them—and learn to be more like dogs--from her father, Par!In the first story in this book, Par gets his dog quartet of singers back together to prepare a holiday concert for the entire town. He even writes new words to “improve” one of the old human Christmas songs. (You’ll probably find yourself singing Par’s words this year because, as Perdita says, “he put lots of food into the verses” to make it better for the holidays.)The Christmas Hayride of DoomWhen his first idea—the Christmas concert—turns into a disaster, Par comes up with ANOTHER way to celebrate at the town’s big Christmas festival!But before the evening is over, he’s done battle with his sworn enemy, Mr. Wimpy AND the town’s policemen, too. What’s more, the police chief learns a lesson about what happens when you try to catch Par Whack.Perdita is convinced that her family is the smartest dog family in the world, and she REALLY believes that her wacky stories teach people important lessons. Do you think so? Could Perdita be right?Or do you think Perdita and the Whacknoodle family are all crazy? AND . . . do you think YOUR dog could think like Perdita Whacknoodle? One thing is for sure. There are lots of dog books, and thousands of heart-warming stories about dogs that you could read. But there’s NEVER been a collection of stories like Perdita’s. That’s because there’s never been a DOG like Perdita Whacknoodle. And when you’ve finished these stories, we think you’ll agree that, maybe—just maybe—Perdita is at least partly right. Maybe humans COULD learn a few important lessons from dogs about how to be happy at Christmas! Could that be true?Read The Christmas Hayride of Doom right now and see what you think!

Perdita's Fifth Book Is Her Most Amazing Yet!If you've read Perdita Whacknoodle's other funny dog books, you know that she's a most unusual dog. She's arrogant, and she thinks that dogs are smarter than people--but she's willing to help bring humans up to her level. In this book, her human 'translator,' Laura, tries, and tries, and tries to get some straight answers from Perdita about how she became such an unusual dog. Instead of answering those questions, Perdita rambles off into even more outlandish stories--mostly about her outlaw-dog father, Par Whack. Here, Par tries to meet a famous German professor who comes to the local college to give a lecture on what humans might learn from dogs. The results, as you might expect, are nothing short of disastrous, but before the evening is over, Par has found several more ways to create chaos and confusion on the college campus. And, As Usual, There's a BIG Chase!As you probably know, Perdita's adventurous father has a lot of adventures, and they mostly end with huge police chases. Often helicopters, and dog catchers, and sheriffs, and many others try to catch the wily Par Whack. But, according to Perdita, they'll NEVER catch Par. He's much too smart for mere humans. "I'm Sparkelizing and ReCombobulating Your Pathetic LanguageWhen Perdita isn't telling outrageously wacky stories about her dog relatives, she tries to "improve" Laura. In one chapter in May Contain Nuts! she invents lots of new words to colorfy and exciticate the boring English language.

If you like dogs, like laughing, and have a bit of a creative imagination . . . you'll join the thousands of other readers who have found a new dog hero in the unlikely person of Perdita Whacknoodle!And, if you want to encourage your child to enjoy reading--here's just the book to do it.Get this new book for your Kindle, and spend some happy time laughing.
