    About Don’t Eat Bees

    The comic duo behind I Don’t Want to Be a Frog brings you Chip the dog, a hilarious pup who’s got some “wisdom” to share.

    Are you a dog in need of advice? Fear not: Chip the dog is ON IT in this super-silly guide to living your best canine life. Chip is seven; he knows things. Like what to eat (important papers, the fancy bird the humans cooked for the fancy dinner, Grandpa’s teeth), and what not to eat (bees). He won’t get those mixed up, will he?
     
    Pet lovers will see their own goofy fur-friends in Chip’s earnest yet ridiculous antics, and readers who love funny animal stories will find their next favorite book buddy with Chip the dog, who’s patiently waiting to eat your homework and slobber on your clothes.

    And don’t miss Chip the dog’s other life lessons in Don’t Trust Cats.
