My Dog's Got Fleas by Julia Dweck is the itchy and scratchy adventure of one poor pooch and the adorable, yet unusual, fleas that call his fur home.After a visit with the vet a young boy discovers his tail-wagger is covered with rare fleas. With the help of a magnifying glass, the vet and the boy get a first hand look at the incredible inhabitants lurking in his best friend's fur. They meet CareFlea, "a tender flea that tries so hard to please. She moves around on tiptoe and is gentle as a breeze."They also come across GleeFlea who "sings inside the shower and tub. She is the director of the tiny glee-flea-club." This astounding world of magnificent fleas is just too much to grasp, but the boy knows they must move on so his dog will no longer scratch. Join the fun and uncover the whole charming flea gang before they are forced to flee.The vibrant and colorful illustrations by Mark Aardvart vividly bring a humorous energy to the story. Children will be amused by all of the creative characters created by Julia Dweck and brought to life through Mark Aardvart's depictions.I recommend picking up a copy of My Dog's Got Fleas.
