Ragamuffin, the puppy with a tilted halo joins his "fur-ever" family on Valentine's Day. Mommy and Daddy are certain that he will be the perfect pet, but the children are in for a BIG surprise when they are home alone with Ragamuffin. You will be thoroughly entertained with his antics as Ragamuffin does what all new puppies do! His halo becomes tilted as he introduces himself to the children with mischief, some of which are typical puppy behaviors. Figurative language, in the form of idioms, is displayed in the silly pictures; thus making this book appropriate for a wide variety of age levels. "It is my goal as a children's author and former teacher, to entertain as well as educate, when I create my books. Understanding figurative language as a literacy skill, helps with both reading and writing for the young learner. This book will be enjoyed by all children, young and old, and also be beneficial as a teaching tool in the classroom. Have fun with Ragamuffin!" ~B. E. Blubaugh
