Porter Square Books is pleased to welcome Somerville-based Jef Czekaj, author and illustrator of Dog Rules.
Dog Rules is an interactive picture book that will have kids barking, growling, and chirping — but mostly laughing out loud. A companion to the popular Cat Secrets, also by Czekaj. In summary:
Two dogs must teach their new puppy to be a good dog.
The puppy has to learn to growl . . . but it keeps tweeting. Roll over . . . but it eats worms.
Will this puppy ever learn the Dog Rules?

Certain books were “banned in Boston” at least as far back as 1651, when one William Pynchon wrote a book criticizing Puritanism.
