Tag the dog can do all kinds of things with his squeaker ball - chew it, toss it and especially squeak it.

Then one day the squeaker comes to life! Tag is delighted, but the resident cat is suspicious.

Where the cat sees a mystery, Tag sees only magic. Which one is right?Tag and the Magic Squeaker, Sam Hundley's heartwarming follow-up to Gifts of the Magpie (Raintree Publishers 2021), is a contest between optimism and cynicism.

Hundley's ability to make art out of scraps is the perfect medium for a book that celebrates finding joy in everyday life and discovering that the power of optimism is magical, indeed.
