"A hilarious romp through the Big Apple." —Kirkus Review

Join Sue and her lovable dog Dutch on an uproarious adventure through the vibrant streets of New York City as they search for "the perfect place to pee," encountering iconic landmarks along the way.

Sue, a resident of New York, embarks on an amusing adventure with her dog Dutch, who is in desperate need of a pee. Together, they explore different parts of the city in search of "the perfect place to pee." However, Dutch's picky preferences keep them on the move, as he continues to search for better spots. Along the way, the story captivates children with its depiction of famous New York landmarks. Supplemental backmatter provides readers with a Dutch-and-Sue-approved guide to the city.

This delightful picture book is filled with imaginative storytelling, endearing characters, and comical illustrations by Hyesu Lee, an artist based in New York.
