"This first book in a new series with eye-popping comic book–style illustrations introduces a yellow anthropomorphic dog and his green talking hat. . . . Expect to giggle over the fun facts, puns, jokes in the chapter titles, and asides. A seek-and-find prompt on the endpapers provides extra incentive to pore over the uber-colorful, busy illustrations. A treat for the eyes, this fast-paced adventure with an ever growing group of friends is both wild and witty."
