Bookaboo: Puppies in the pound by Lucy Goodman

Walker Books, 2010. ISBN 9781406327021.
Bookaboo receives an e-mail to tell him that his old home (The Little Puppy Pound) is about to close. Not content to see his old home go, the drum playing rocker dog and his friends head to the pound to hold a concert.  When a guard at the pound does not know who they are and locks them away, is all lost?  
This is a very simple story that would appeal to fans of Bookaboo. Lovely bright illustrations and bold text appeal to younger readers. The little book inside was a lovely surprise and appealed to me, as well as my 5 year old.  I enjoyed the few corny lines and the modern approaches, such as e-mail being included in the storyline.
