Dog Breath! by Dav Pilkey (1994, Reinforced Hardcover)

In this book, Dav Pilkey of Captain Underpants fame tells the story of Hally the dog, who lives with the Tosis family. Hally has a problem with bad breath--even skunks run away!

The Tosis family decide to take her somewhere to give her a breathtaking view (to take her breath away), but it doesn't work. So they go through a series of events designed to leave her breathless, but none work. Just when the family starts to get discouraged, they encounter a group of bandits. Hally's breath saves the day, so the family decides it's worth it to keep him. A book full of puns, it is sure to make your child laugh hysterically. It's enjoyable reading for adults, too! I recommend this to anyone who wants to add a great book to a kid's library.
