Based on the streaming series Pretzel and the Puppies on Apple TV+, this I Can Read follows the pups as they work to make sure the new Bow Wow Tower is accessible for all dogs.
Welcome to Muttgomery, the nicest little city in an all-dog world, and home of Pretzel, Greta, and their five adorable Dachshund puppies: Poppy, Penny, Pedro, Puck, and Paxton. Pretzel is a peppy, playful, and always positive stay-at-home dad, and he and Greta, the mayor of Muttgomery, have a knack for encouraging their pups to follow their passions and make the world a better place!
In this I Can Read book, the pups are excited to explore the newly built Bow-Wow Tower--it has binoculars so dogs can see all of Muttgomery! But the construction dogs didn't plan for pups who are too small to reach the binoculars. Luckily the Doxies are there to put their paws up and make the tower accessible to all!
