Synopsis

Follow a charming pug whose appetite leads him into trouble in this illustrated chapter book for fans of Bad Kitty and Diva and Flea.

After Pug and his best friend, Lady Miranda, have a scary run-in with a lion (it might be hiding under the bed), Miranda decides Pug must face his fears-on a safari adventure! Pug becomes a bit of a scaredy-cat when he finds out he'll go nose-to-nose with a rare lion cub.

But when he realizes the safari animals are in trouble, can Pug embrace his wild side and save the day?

About the Author

Laura James is the author of Captain Pug and Cowboy Pug. Her love of storytelling began at an early age and led her to study film and writing for young people at Bath Spa University in England. The adventures of Pug are based on the antics of her own very adventurous dogs, Brian and Florence. Laura lives in the west of England.

Églantine Ceulemans was born in Belgium, where she spent her childhood devouring comics before moving to France to study illustration. Besides drawing, she loves riding her blue bicycle, cooking (which she is not very good at), and cleaning windows (which she is very good at). Églantine lives in Lyon, France.
