My daughter loved this book---it's perfect for a preschooler. We borrowed it from the library and she was heartbroken when we had to bring it back. Definitely a cute read!

I chose this book because the funny title and cover illustration caught my attention. The book is hilarious throughout! Shaggy's got flea problems and can't seem to shake them no matter what he does. He gets by with a little help from his friends who agree to scratch his back - as long as Shaggy "pays" for the favor up front (like finding lost sheep who snicker and hide, or busting tons of suds in a diner). I made sure to point out that sneaky flea in the illustrations to my girls (ages 3.5 and 2). You may not need to do so with older readers. Readers of all ages will love the ending!
