Mulligan the dog's thing-in-a-box has become a thing-on-two-legs, and this makes life difficult for Mulligan. He has never understood why everyone makes a fuss of Seamus; he is only a baby after all. But Seamus beginning to walk has seriously threatened Mulligan's long walks over fields and through woods. Seamus is so slow and the Dembos haven't time to take Mulligan anymore. Mr. Linden down the road solves the problem by taking Mulligan for walks with his own dog. Lots of black and white pictures and large print. Good on the adjustments that must be made to family life when a baby comes.
