That sneaky, fun-loving, fabulously-dressed pest skips around the mansion, causing trouble from the Ballroom to the Amusement Park Room.

★★★★★ A delightful children's book collecting the exhilarating adventures of two inseparable friends who wreak havoc everywhere they go, Sir DoGoody Button and Fleabins the Great Troublemaker by K. Frances Carson is a charming work for new readers...The title perfectly encapsulates the main characters' personalities, brought to life by Carson's breezy, amusing prose, and the vivid illustrations by Shannon Mckeon, which feel like classic Roald Dahl imagery. A free-for-all of imagination, Carson's book has the ability to ignite children's curiosity, as it cleverly calls attention to the little things in life, suggesting that there is so much more in the world around us than what simply meets the eye. While readers can busy themselves with the twists and turns of DoGoody and Fleabins's story, children could also be inspired to find the magic that exists in their own lives, which is a testament to the quality of writing and its potential impact. -Self-Publishing Review Readers will meet two delightfully loveable characters in this beginner's chapter book-the irrepressible Fleabins and the loyal and protective DoGoody. Their unlikely friendship not only results in some hilarious adventures but also underpins the moral of these wacky stories-that friends are there for each other. The magical secondary world they inhabit is filled with delicious details, from the music box that plays whatever you tell it to, to the department store-sized dressing room filled with fancy outfits. The stories are arranged into short chapters filled with lovely, old-fashioned back-and-white line drawings that both add humor and help novice readers follow the text. The text combines short sentences and paragraphs with some more challenging vocabulary to help readers build their literacy skills. Sir DoGoody Button is a delightful series of doggy stories, perfect for readers just transitioning to the chapter book format. -The Children's Book Review A Recommended Review A dog and his best friend, a flea, get up to mischief above and below ground in Carson's chapter book for children. DoGoody is accompanied by a sidekick, Fleabins, who ""likes to dress up, even for bed,"" in a style that borrows heavily from glam rock. Beginning or reluctant readers will find them approachable.... McKeon's clear, grayscale cartoon illustrations help bring the events to life. A simple but enjoyable set of stories for young readers. -Kirkus Reviews
