Synopsis
Except for his bath, Fergus experiences the perfect doggy day, from chasing cats and motorcycles to being scratched on his favorite tickle spot., Fergus, an infectiously energetic, bouncy pooch is the star of this great read-aloud picture book for very young children. With a lively narrative that reads as if the narrator is speaking to the dog, the loose story follows Fergus through his day, from the eventful morning walk--cat sighting!--to a satisfying belly rub and some tricks. Though Fergus gets into a little trouble with a flower pot, he begs like a champion at dinner and scores a meatball for his persistence. This endearing pup will scamper into the reader's heart without a moment's pause. With David Shannon's kinetic, colorful artwork. A 2006 New York Times Notable Book.

Industry Reviews
"Shannon's mixed-media illustrations, in the style of his David books, crackle with personality. Fergus's expressions and poses will be both funny and familiar to dog lovers, and the predominantly close-up perspective offers an immediacy that makes readers feel included in every second of the tail-wagging action. Paws down, Fergus is one memorable pooch."
Publishers Weekly (01/02/2006)
"Preschoolers will enjoy the large-format full of over-sized text and hysterical pictures of the disobedient dog who gets his way every time, right down to holding out for whipped cream on top of his dog food."
