My Dog Never Says Please

by Suzanne Williams Illustrated by Tedd Arnold

It's a dog's life

Ginny Mae thinks her dog, Ol' Red, has got it made. All day long, he lies in the sun, chasing cats and scratching an occasional itch. He eats with his mouth open, runs around barefoot, and leaves his stuff wherever he wants. Best of all, Ol' Red never, ever has to say please. Ol' Red's life is so easy that one day Ginny Mae decides to join her canine companion. And what follows is a hilarious story that will make readers sit up and beg to hear it again.

About the Author and Illustrator

Tedd Arnold Author and Artist Tedd Arnold was a commercial illustrator for many years before his wife suggested he write and illustrate children&#39s books. His books No Jumping on the Bed! and No Water in the Tub! were inspired by his two sons.
