Moxie Jo always wanted MORE. But soon she’d get MORE than she bargained for!
Spunky and energetic, Moxie is just like any other girl–aside from the fact that she has to have the MOST of everything! If she doesn’t have the most toys, the most A’s on tests, or the most time on the swing, then she makes the MOST noise!

Teach the power of doubling through this playful puppy romp!
