About This Book

Two boys rescue a pair of young dogs that a passerby had tried to drown, bring them home, and name them Plish and Plum. Their arrival produces comic disorder in a cozy household as the animals spoil the evening cream and provoke mixed reactions from parents and neighbors. The work unfolds as a sequence of light, illustrated episodes in verse that follow the animals' antics, the children’s affection, and the adults’ humorous exasperation.
