For Zara’s dog, Moose, nothing is more important than being with her favorite girl. So when Zara has to go to school, WHOOSH, Moose escapes and rushes to her side. Hello, Moose! Unfortunately, dogs aren’t allowed at school and Moose has to go back home. Goodbye, Moose. But Moose can’t be held back for long. Through a series of escalating escapes, this loyal dog always finds her way back to Zara, and with a little bit of training and one great idea, the two friends find a way to be together all day long.
Patrice Barton's absolutely charming illustrations bring this story of a little girl and her dog who absolutely cannot stand to be separated from her to life in a way that complements the sweetness of the story while also allowing the humor of a dog on the loose to shine through.
