Cheese the Pug and the Circus Squatters: A Funny Illustrated Beginner Reader Chapter Book for Kids Ages 6-9

By Emery Trax

Cheese the pug has everything a dog could want: a cozy pizza box, loyal friends, and a daily bucket of leftover noodles and meatballs from the Cozy Spaghetti Cafe and Meatball Lounge.

Life in Misfit Alley is perfect.

Then the circus comes to town.

Three tired clowns, one trained monkey, and a very snooty poodle decide they are done performing for sticky children. They want to retire in the alley, sleep on the pizza boxes, and eat all the meatballs themselves. Their message to Cheese and his friends is simple: Find somewhere else to live.

Cheese, Pumpkin the grumpy orange cat, Ricky the Tricky Raccoon, and Bruiser the muscle-bound bulldog are not giving up their home without a fight.

Their plans involve disguises, pizza boxes, circus tricks, flying pies, an old refrigerator, several rubber chickens, and one very unfortunate pug stomach.

Most of the plans fail.

One fails spectacularly.

Perfect for readers who love silly animals, wild adventures, terrible plans, and stories where friendship is stronger than clown shoes.
