Ping and Pong are friends. They like to eat and walk together, but they have their differences too. Pong loves to nap, and he does it a lot. Ping just wants to play! She keeps herself busy, running and jumping around the yard while Pong sleeps the day away. Sometimes this boundless energy gets Ping into tricky situations. Luckily, Pong likes to help when he's not napping. These dogs are a great pair.

Adam Gudeon's lively illustrations capture Ping's and Pong's contrasting personalities in bold, childlike shapes and bright colors perfect for young readers.
