Publisher's Synopsis
Join Ernie the dog and his trusty sidekick, Montgomery the mouse, in the first of a fun series of comic adventures for young readers!
"But Dad," Martha protested, tears welling in her eyes "Ernie didn't mean to poop in your slipper!"
Confined to his basket in the porch following the unfortunate incident with Dad's slipper, Ernie is, quite literally, in the dog house. And when his owner, a girl named Martha, accidentally throws his favourite toy bone into next door's garden, things go from bad to worse!
Aided by his friend, a mangy but extremely clever mouse named Montgomery, Ernie sets out on a desperate mission to rescue his bone. Little does he know that the garden next door is patrolled by a fierce and bad-tempered bulldog named Max who has already claimed it as his own, and who will not take kindly to anyone he catches trying to steal it...
Will Ernie and Montgomery survive their daring mission?
Will Dad find it in his heart to forgive Ernie for 'The Tartan Slipper Scandal'?
And will poor little Ernie ever be reunited with his most precious possession in the whole wide world - his beloved yellow rubber bone?
