Review by Kirkus Book Review
DJ Funkyfoot puts his foot down. DJ Funkyfoot is not a hip-hop star or a rapper; he is a Chihuahua butler. His parents gave him the first name DJ (in case he decided to spin funky beats) and middle name MC (in case he excelled at rapping cool rhymes), but all DJ Funkyfoot wants is a great butler job. It's a fantastic and amazing day--worthy of shouting "WOW!"--when he gets a call from the White House butler. The president's own butler, a mustachioed pig in a beret, is taking a vacation day to go play miniature golf. DJ Funkyfoot has a new job for the day! But President Horse G. Horse is quite a pawful. All that's on the docket today is to sign the peace treaty with Wingland, but the president is too much of a selfish baby to cooperate. Funny dialogue and frequent cartoon illustrations keep the action lively as President Horse drags DJ Funkyfoot into all kinds of silly trouble at the Mini Golf and Fondue Fun Spot. DJ Funkyfoot knows how to be a good butler, but if a butler works for someone who lies and cheats and doesn't care about war, he can't always say "yes" to everything. Witty repetitive prose aids comprehension (and the recurrences of "hot cheese volcano" make mini golf sound extra delicious). Goofy, readable chapter-book fun for our Chihuahua butler.
