About BC Books Online
BC Books Online was created for anyone interested in BC-published books, and with librarians especially in mind. We'd like to make it easy for library staff to learn about books from BC publishers - both new releases and backlist titles - so you can inform your patrons and keep your collections up to date.
Our site features print books and ebooks - both new releases and backlist titles - all of which are available to order through regular trade channels. Browse our subject categories to find books of interest or create and export lists by category to cross-reference with your library's current collection.
A quick tip: When reviewing the "Browse by Category" listings, please note that these are based on standardized BISAC Subject Codes supplied by the books' publishers. You will find additional selections, grouped by theme or region, in our "BC Reading Lists."

Description
A humorous tale about a hard-barking pup who realizes his job is to expose prowlers - but can't figure out how to identify them. He accosts the postman, the milkman, innocent visitors, family members sneaking home late at night and generally makes, an unholy nuisance of himself. When a real prowler does come, Puccini decides, he's much too nice to mean any harm. The family decides he's no watchdog, but Puccini at least makes a noise like one, "which is enough to fool all honest people."
