Joe and Urzab the Robot - Hardcover

by Dorothy Fleming (Author), Illustration Maa (Illustrator)

Can a robot and a dog become best friends? Read on, and find out!

Joe is a rascally puppy who enjoys biting, chewing Mrs. Jennifer's shoes, and peeing on her beautiful rug. Desperate, Mrs. Jennifer shouts to the sky, "I need help with Joe!" The last thing she expects is the sky to answer back.

When a robot named Urzab shows up at Mrs. Jennifer's door, she's not sure what to think. He's from planet Brillianti, and wants to take Joe there so he can learn to be a more loving puppy. Even though she's skeptical, Mrs. Jennifer agrees, and Joe and Urzab set off on their journey.

But Queen Mirthless has another plan when she intercepts their spacecraft, dumping Joe and Urzab into the Violent Ocean. From there, they'll team up with dolphins, monkeys, pigeons, and a rat named Jerboa to battle a masked soldier with a whip, a dragon, a bird of prey, and Queen Mirthless herself.

Join Joe and Urzab as they try to find their way to safety before interplanetary war breaks out. Along the way, they might just develop a friendship that unexpectedly teaches them both how to love.
