    From the author of Jazz Cats: Canines are rocking the doghouse in this new rhyming picture book!  At the canine club known as the Fireplug, kids are welcome to visit—but not cats, vets, or ticks. As stray dogs strut outside wearing leather jackets, pink toy poodles groom in the flea-powder room, the bulldog doorman checks doggie tags, and Duke, a springer spaniel, waits the tables. All the dogs dance to the sounds of the Rock ’n’ Roll Memphis Blues Dogs . . . but are very careful to not step on any blue suede shoes.  This humorous story with vibrant illustrations is fun for both children and adults. The lively rhythm and colorful vocabulary encourage children to follow along with the story’s repetition of objects, animals, and actions—while also introducing them to rock ’n’ roll!

Praise for The Madman of Piney Woods 
 
“Humor and tragedy are often intertwined, and readers will find themselves sobbing and chuckling, sometimes in the same scene.” —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review 
 
“A delight, featuring the author’s obvious love for his characters, his skillful use of sentiment, and his often hyperbolic humor.” —Booklist, Starred Review 
 
“Heady stuff. Funny stuff. Smart stuff. Good stuff. Better get your hands on this stuff.” —School Library Journal 
 
“So suspenseful . . . Curtis deftly makes what might have been simply heart-rending hopeful and redeeming instead . . . A thrill ride of a plot.” —TheNew York Times
