"Isabel's dog, Rollo--'the cutest, funniest puppy' ever--just doesn't seem like himself these days. For starters, he doesn't fit into any of her best friend Zo?'s doll clothes anymore when they try to play baby with him. But worse, he keeps doing things that get him into a very big amount of trouble. Like, even when both girls are holding his leash, he manages to jerk loose to chase a squirrel--then keeps running! And when no one's looking, he eats everyone's ice cream, right off the table! Sure, Isabel bent the rules (or, um, had no rules?) for Rollo when he was a baby. But now he's a teenager--and he's out of control!! Is there a cure for this?"--From the publisher's web site.

"What would happen if you never had to grow up? You never had to become a grown-up with all of the not-fun things that come with it. No vegetables, no jobs, and definitely no boredom. This is a picture book about learning to never grow up--even when you're getting older. Some people get bigger without ever growing up at all. There are spunky scientists making amazing discoveries, hair artistes, chocolate cake makers, and even those who talk to bears. All you need to do is remember to question everything that you're told and maybe then, you'll never get old!"--Provided by publisher.
