Synopsis

Tag the dog can do all kinds of things with his squeaker ball - chew it, toss it and especially squeak it. Then one day the squeaker comes to life! Tag is delighted, but the resident cat is suspicious. Where the cat sees a mystery, Tag sees only magic. Which one is right? Tag and the Magic Squeaker, Sam Hundley’s heartwarming follow-up to Gifts of the Magpie (Raintree Publishers 2021), is a contest between optimism and cynicism. Hundley’s ability to make art out of scraps is the perfect medium for a book that celebrates finding joy in everyday life and discovering that the power of optimism is magical, indeed.

About this title

About the Author

Sam Hundley is an American scrap artist who uses found objects that he collects wherever he goes. “Beautiful things are all around us,” he says. “And there’s no limit to what they can become in one’s imagination.” Retired after 39 years as a newspaper artist, Sam now resides in Norfolk, Virginia, with his wife, Lynndale, and their squeaker-loving beagle, Theo, upon whom Tag is based. “Theo is an amazing juggler with his squeaker ball,” says Sam. “But when it rolls under the couch, he howls like a baby until I retrieve it!” (See a photo of Theo on the following page.) Sam’s first children’s book, Gifts of the Magpie, was published in 2021.
