On the back:
Meet the marvelous Pyes-
There is Mrs.Pye,the youngest mother in town;
Mr.Pye,a famous bird man,who handles all the nation's important bird problems;
Rachel Pye,who is so reasonable,she can make unreasonable ideas sound like good ones;
Jerry Pye,who knows about rocks of all sorts and plans to grow up to be a rock man;
Uncle Bennie,who is Rachel and Jerry's uncle-even though he is only three years old.
Lastly is Ginger Pye,the "intellectual dog",who Jerry bought for a hard-earned dollar.The most famous pup in all of Cranbury,Ginger knows tons of tricks,is as loyal as he is smart,and steals the hearts of everyone he meets...until someone steals him!

I know this book is on a Sonlight List - but it was horrific as a Read Aloud book. The story premise is actually very cute - but the writing is horrendous! The writer writes in circles - getting off point in almost every paragraph. Run-on Sentences were everywhere!

Great story.
