A milk-loving pug’s midnight mission ends with his head stuck in a jug—and chaos in the kitchen!

When a thirsty little pug sneaks into the kitchen for a secret midnight sip, things don’t go to plan—he gets his head stuck in a jug of milk! As he slips, crashes, and causes commotion, the family wakes up to the chaos. But just when things seem hopeless, a tiny fruit bowl bug finds his voice—and saves the day. Pug Gets Stuck in a Jug is a laugh-out-loud rhyming tale of mischief, mishaps, and unexpected teamwork. With humorous, expressive artwork, this book is sure to delight all children.

Gleni Bailey began to write children’s stories due to her love of nature and desire to teach from learned experiences. Based at her home farm in Western Australia, Gleni’s motivation comes from the myriad of characters surrounding her. While the antics of chickens, cats, sheep, other farm animals, and wildlife amuse her, they also inspire, providing the context for her to subtly impart many life lessons while also entertaining readers.
