Discover Raspus T. Shufflebutt
Meet Charlie Burp
It all began that special day when Charlie Burp decided to play hooky from school and go to the park. There he met an adorable, little, magical dog named Raspus T. Shufflebutt who changed Charlie’s whole life. Charlie did not like school and was always getting into trouble. Shufflebutt uses his wisdom and caring support to help Charlie gain a new outlook on learning. There are humorous interactions between the two friends as Charlie has a habit of letting out a burp when he gets excited, and Shufflebutt adds to the fun by shaking his rump loudly.
A delightful story by retired teacher, children's book author & illustrator Joan Maultsby Ross. The book is a story of friendship and inspiration between a boy and a dog.
Shufflebutt instills in Charlie an incredibly special message: If you believe in yourself and try your best, you can do almost anything. Follow your dreams.
