ABOUT

Three sweet stories about two magical puppies shine in this boxed set with a sheet of lively, adorable stickers.

This adorable chapter-book series about two magical puppies takes readers to a vibrant world full of community, surprises, and welcoming homes. Hocus can see two minutes into the future, and Pocus can turn bad feelings into bubbles (which he eats!)—together, they can't help but get into mischief. From finding their forever home to making new friends to a wintery wish gone haywire, these sweet and affirming stories showcase a world where everyone can be their unique selves.

STANDARD, PRIMARY, DM AND VARIANT COVERS

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
