About this ebook
“Navigating friendships and popularity can be difficult for youngsters; Percy is a shining example of empowerment.” —Kirkus
“This sweet and giggle-inducing story carries a great message about how acceptance of a friend’s new role and a little independence can strengthen a friendship.” —Booklist
What’s a superhero without a sidekick? This delightful follow-up to the popular Puddle Pug brings back that perfectly THUNDER-ful pug-and-pig pair: Percy and Petunia.
Percy the Pug and Petunia the pig are the very best of pals . . . until Petunia wins a blue ribbon at the county fair. Suddenly, she has no time for hide-and-seek or lapping puddles, cheek-to-cheek. But when Percy finds a faded comic book in a puddle, the lonely pug dons a cape and takes on a new persona: THUNDER PUG! Even though being a superhero is exciting, Percy knows he’s missing something. Only when “Pink Lightning” (aka Petunia) joins him, and the two are “side by sidekick” again, are they truly living the heroic life!

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I bought this unseen after enjoying Puddle Pug so much, and I was no disappointed. This books follows Puddle Pug nicely but also works well on its own.Now best friends, Percy and Petunia do everything together until popularity sweeps Petunia away and Percy feels alone and decides to find something special for him to do.As with the first book, the illustrations are adorable and the pages are colourful. The text is of a slightly different rhyme scheme than Puddle Pug but flows nicely and is easy to read and would make an excellent read-aloud or story time book.
