Part of the Penelope Positano series
A girl with a unique perspective searches for the perfect family dog.
Seven-year-old Penelope, with her trusty eye patch, sees what others miss. Tasked with finding the perfect dog for her family, she faces a dilemma: obedience, musical taste, or something more? As her search deepens, Penelope worries her ideal pup might not exist. With her grandma's wisdom and her own keen eye, she discovers that the answer might be closer than she ever imagined. Will Penelope find the dog meant for her?
From bestselling author Katie Cotugno and illustrator Amy Jindra Hodgson comes a charming new chapter-book series about a plucky seven-year-old who can see things other people miss, perfect for fans of Ivy & Bean For two hours every day, seven-year-old Penelope Positano wears an eye patch. Her eye muscles don’t quite match, and wearing the patch on her strong eye helps her less-strong eye catch up. And whenever she wears her eye patch, Penelope notices things that other people overlook. The Positanos are getting a dog, and it’s Penelope’s job to find the perfect pup for her family. Her mom thinks they should pick the most obedient dog, and her dad wants the dog that likes his music the best, but Penelope’s not sure. Her best friend Gus said she would know which dog was meant to be hers, but the more Penelope looks, the more she worries that her dog isn’t out there. It’s only with the encouragement of her grandma–and the help of her trusty eye patch–that Penelope realizes the perfect dog might be closer than she thinks.
