Pee-Pee Harley and the Bandit! Donald Kruse

Mrs. Stark loves her friendly little dog Pee-Pee Harley. Every day they take walks together in the local park. But Pee-Pee Harley has a "wetting problem," as his name suggests. Unfortunatley he pees on everything and everyone with whom he comes in contact. This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, for Mrs. Stark and Harley to make friends at the park. In fact, Pee-Pee Harley has developed a bad reputation, and people and their pets run the other way when they see him and Mrs. Stark approaching. Meanwhile, it becomes evident that there is a thief lurking somewhere in the park. Someone, or something, is stealing food and picnic baskets when no one is looking, and people are becoming alarmed. The police are called in to search the park, but to no avail. Despite their thorough searching, they cannot find the "bandit." Then one day, Pee-Pee Harley discovers the thief and his hiding place. The fearless Harley gives chase, pursuing the "bandit" throughout the park for everyone to witness. Finally, Harley chases the "bandit" over the fence and out of the park for good. Pee-Pee Harley saves the day, and from that day on, he becomes everyone's hero. This funny story, written in verse, with full-color illustrations by Donny Crank throughout, will delight readers and listeners ages 4 and up. Includes an introduction by comedienne Rose Marie.
