From the New York Times bestselling duo behind the Tiny T. Rex series comes an adorable pug with an indomitable spirit—and a nose for trouble!

A perfect day for Hugo begins with a stretch and a yawn . . .
There are bees for chasing—go, Hugo, go!
Puddles for splashing—squish, Hugo, squish!
And skunks for smelling—sniff, Hugo, sniff!
But look out! Oh no, Hugo!
Hugo’s adventure turns ouchie, stinky, and dirty. Does Hugo mind? NOT ONE BIT. Hugo really did have a perfect day. 

Jonathan Stutzman and Jay Fleck have created an unforgettable character in Hugo. Readers won't be able to help exclaiming aloud as Hugo plays in his garden: "Go, Hugo, Go!"

"The creators of the Tiny T. Rex books introduce a new—and equally endearing—character. . . . Stutzman’s sweetly encouraging narration guides Hugo through low-stakes ups and downs; despite a few setbacks, this is an idyllic outing. Rendered with a simplicity ideal for the toddler set, Fleck’s illustrations of roly-poly Hugo and his tousled-hair young owner brim with eye-catching details and textures. A doggone good day." - Kirkus Reviews
