Baron von Bubbles, aka “Bub,” is the self-proclaimed cutest pug on the planet! He loves fashion, peanut butter, and his human, Bella. He does not love Nutz the squirrel, baths, and the rain.



When Bella enters the Inventor Challenge, Bub helps her craft the best project ever. But what happens when Nutz gets on Bub’s nerves and makes him ruin Bella’s project? If Bub wants to make it up to Bella, he’ll have to stand up to Nutz—and the rain—once and for all.



With full-color artwork throughout, this funny and charming diary-format early chapter book is perfect for anyone who believes a furry pal is the best kind of friend.
