His behavior may be rather unconventional, but Pinkerton the dog proves it doesn't really matter.

Pinkerton seems lonely. So his young owner goes to the pet show to find him a friend. She returns with a kitten named Rose, who could be the ideal playmate for Pinkerton. But Rose has ideas of her own. She wants to be a Great Dane, and suddenly Pinkerton decides to start acting like a kitten. So Pinkerton, Rose and their owners go back to the pet show to seek professional advice, but what results is a crazy and comical adventure! "A zesty tale that is delivered with splendid flourish . . . Funny and well-paced [with] dexterous illustrations." ( Booklist, starred review)

Pinkerton and his feline sidekick bump into Dr. Aleasha Kibble and her Hunting Academy out for fox, but the striped fox looks remarkably like a skunk.

Chaos is the result when a little girl takes Pinkerton, an enormous Great Dane puppy with a penchant for chewing up everything in sight, on a visit to the museum to see a collection of dinosaur bones.

Pinkerton the Great Dane simply can't seem to stay out of trouble and so when he pursues the adoption of a penguin chick, pure chaos at a football game is the result of his accidental maneuvers.

For more than thirty years, Steven Kellogg has been delighting young readers with his bright, lively books full of feisty imagination and silliness—and always perfectly expressing children's thoughts and dreams. As his friend Helen Hunt says in her introduction to this treasury, Steven's books "give voice and bring humor to the mischievous in all of us." Because of that, Steven Kellogg has become one of our most loved picture book creators. For the first time, here is a treasury of Steven's books, including many of his bestsellers (The Mysterious Tadpole, The Island of the Skog, Jimmy's Boa, Best Friends and others) and several little-known books that have been unavailable for many years. In all, eleven books are included—eleven gems to pore over again and again. And as an added bonus, there is also a biographical profile of Steven, complete with many photos and even some never-before-seen sketches. This is a compendium for every child—those who already love Steven Kellogg's books, and those who are soon to love them.
