Pull tabs and pup ups animate all-new offerings. Fans of Alexandra Day's rottweiler, Carl, will embrace the interactive canine companion that escapes his crate in Puppy Trouble. Youngsters can pull a tab or lift a flap to watch the pup upset a flower pot, startle the cat and unleash an avalanche in the coat closet. In the end, he leaps into his owner's arms.
