Meet Murphy! An irresistibly cute and rambunctious French bulldog who has a lot of emotions...and interesting ways of letting them out! Perfect for fans of Llama Destroys the World and How to Pee Your Pants.

Oh no, the big yellow thing (aka: a bus) has taken Murphy's boy away! And it doesn't look like he's coming back, at least not any time soon.

Burdened by impatience and excess energy, Murphy passes the time (impatiently) waiting for his boy. But bothering the cat, protecting his boy's dirty socks, and tearing up the house looking for him can only go so far.

Until . . . a reunion for the ages solves everything.

In this hilarious and heartfelt picture book, Dan Yaccarino reminds readers that time apart just makes every second together that much sweeter.
