Shaggy Dog And The Terrible Itch

Shaggy dog has an itch—and it just won't go away. Every time he asks one of his friends to scratch his back, they reply that first he must do them a favor. He rounds up Farmer Gertie's sheep, and she scratches his back with her curly hook. Soon his itch is back again. He washes all the dishes in Merv's cafe, and Merv scratches his back. But the itch comes back again. He sweeps up all the fallen dog hair in Mary Lou's Poodle Parlor, and Mary Lou scratches his back. But this time, when his itch returns, Mary Lou decides to give him a haircut and shampoo. At last Shaggy's itch is gone for good—because now it's jumped onto the back of a snooty poodle who had laughed at Shaggy. Kids will be delighted as they finally figure out the cause of Shaggy Dog's terrible itch. Funny, full-color illustrations on every page.
