"Wagmore Gently is the spotted, long-tailed pet of the Gently family in this original tall tale from Ashman. Bendall-Brunello's exuberant watercolor illustrations bring Wagmore to life, creatively showing Wagmore's wacky tail in action." Kirkus Reviews

"Wagmore the dog has one huge problem -- a tail so long and fluffy that it has a life of its own. Wagmore doesn't mean to wreck things, but his happy, wagging tail can clear a checkerboard, crack a wall, level a pot of zinnias, and sound like an earthquake when it thumps on the floor. Mr. Gently is losing patience, and he warns the dog that he had better control his tail or else. A particularly good choice for children who know a happy dog like Wagmore." Booklist
