Book Overview

For fans of Grumpy Monkey and The Pout-Pout Fish comes the heroic tale of one dog's journey to cope with life's inconveniences and all its . . . accessories

"Perfect for fans of Doug Salati's Hot Dog." --Booklist

Joan's life is wonderful, wild, and grand--
running and playing as much as she can!
Days full of fun, where she's never alone.
And then . . .
came . . .
the cone.

For Joan the dog, life is different now. With her cone, she gets trapped in the doggy door. And she doesn't command the same respect she once did at the dog park. Through funny challenges and mortifications, Joan reflects on her pre-cone glory days, including what led to her injury (let's just say, certain choices were made). But with time, Joan begins to see there is love and life and joy beyond the rim of the cone--and sometimes popcorn inside it too, because, it turns out, the cone makes a great snack bowl.

This picture book is guaranteed to make kids and caregivers laugh, and see the trials of life--and dogs in cones--in a whole new way.

"Dynamic, expressive, and funny." --Kirkus
"A perfect read-aloud for children, especially [to teach] resilience and acceptance." --SLJ
Bound to become a family favorite. --Cracking the Cover
