A day of crossed paths

A school group and a pack of dogs become entangled in an unexpected mix-up, leaving shy George in a dog’s place and Romper among the children. Their day brings together familiar routines—snacks, play, and learning—with the different ways a child and a pup experience school and the dog park. The setup gives the story room for comic contrasts between indoor curiosity and outdoor energy, while its central question is whether the pair will return to their original places by day’s end.

Book overview

A pawsome story about doggos, kiddos, and one hilarious mix-up! In a wacky twist of events, a human child and a feisty dog switch places for the day in this laugh-out-loud picture book perfect for fans of Katie Weaver and Ryan T. Higgins.

When a dog-walker leading a pack of pooches runs into a teacher leading a caboodle of kids, everyone gets tangled up in the jumble, and a shy boy named George accidentally switches places with a furry pup named Romper.

At first, it seems like not much is different. In school and at the dog park, there's snack time, playtime, and lots of opportunity to learn new tricks. George likes running around outside. Romper likes sniffing everything inside. When day's end comes, will they swap back, or stay jumbled forever?

If you loved The Jumble, then don't miss Avi Steinberg's picture book A Story No One Has Ever Heard Before.
