a story about her polka dotted world one day when I was walking my pug, Petula Peabody. As Petula chased a spotted red ladybug, I realized it would be loads of fun for children and their parents to have a peek into a wonderfully whimsical polka dot world.

Imagine you're back in school, and you're learning about the human body. You open your book and see the flat image of a skeleton on your page.
