What's McDuff Moves In About
One rainy night, a little white dog needed something to eat and a place to sleep. He went looking and found something he didn’t expect–a home.
Reviews
The most fitting word I can find for this book is appealing. McDuff, a little grey dog that no one seems to want, is surprisingly appealing for a stray. It is easy to see how life with Lucy and Fred would be appealing for McDuff--from their lovely home furnishings to their cozy habits, their picture-perfect life is missing just one thing--a dog. The text is on the spare side as if told from the perspective of the dog. Rosemary Wells' vibrant and warm illustrations give the story real heart. Although I am not sure which decade she was aiming for, I have always liked the period feel of the illustrations. Our family has never had a dog but, in the context of this book, even I find the idea of having a dog appealing.
