Bookroo's summary

Larabee, a dedicated mail dog, loves delivering letters with Mr. Bowman but never receives one himself. Each day, he dutifully rides in the mail truck, ensuring every letter reaches its destination. Yet, his own mailbox remains empty. Until one day, a surprise awaits—a letter addressed to Larabee! What message does it hold, and who sent it? Discover the joy and friendship in this heartwarming tale.

From the publisher

Larabee likes everything about delivering mail, except that he has never received any himself!

Every morning, the mailman Mr. Bowman and his dog Larabee wake up very early to deliver the mail. Larabee likes riding in the mail truck and carrying the mailbag. He likes delivering the mail, and he always, always makes sure it is delivered on time. There’s only one thing Larabee doesn’t like: There is never a letter for him! Then one day, after all the mail has been delivered, Mr. Bowman reaches into his bag and finds a letter…addressed to Larabee!

Kevin Luthardt utilizes his highly expressive, comical, full-color illustrations and minimal text to poignantly and humorously dramatize this special tale of the pure joy that can result from the simplest expression of friendship.
