MCPG ANIMAL FRIEND OF THE WEEK
By now, you are all familiar with many of the MCPG team’s adorable, snuggly, goofy pets – and we love them all. But I have to say, my dog is the best.
Just like the dog in this hilarious picture book, Otis is great at all kinds of tricks…especially sleeping.
Japanese publisher Iwasaki loved this book so much they offered for it at the Frankfurt Book Fair last fall!
