Publisher Marketing: "Yay! It's Mom coming home from running away again to work! But wait a minute... I gotta find my favorite ball... where is it? Oh yeah, here it is! It's for you Mom. Here, take it. Do ya want to play keep away? Dads been too busy. And you should have seen the scorpion we found today. Dad put it in a jar. It smells bad- don't touch it- right up there, see it? Yup that's it- cool huh! Oh yeah, and old yeller dog came by again- I almost didn't bark at him- but I did and Dad caught me. I got in trouble. Dad stepped on a nasty old nail today - went right thru his boot and into the back of his paw- it had blood on it. Gross huh! And I got in trouble for pooping in the backyard, Yup! And we found a little frog inside a leaf on the tree- you should have seen it. It didn't smell good and I sneezed- funny huh?... Hey Mom, that Crabtree lady on the other side of the wall was yelling again- she's mean! I don't like her, do you? I don't like her dogs either- especially the one that cries like a baby! Oh yeah- and I caught a lizard this morning! It didn't taste too good so I spit it out... I saved it- want to see it? I'll go get it for you- its right over there- come here!" ... And on and on it goes with Elliot the dog. He's some kind of a character. He sure is! Gotta Love him.
