"Would Gracie-the-cat be jealous if the Pyes got another pet- a dog??" thought Jerry Pye. With hard-work and patience, young Jerry had earned his pup. The smartest dog everknown in this small town of Cranbury, is know by the name of, Ginger Pye. Everything goes perfect with Ginger, he is loved by everyone he encounters(with the exception of the neighbors cats). But.... DISASTER strikes when he is stolen. I look forward to reading the rest of Eleanor Estes' books.
