“This is a cute story about finding the perfect dog, and it's told and illustrated in a way that makes it easy for toddlers and preschoolers to enjoy. It has just the right combination of repetition and surprise, and just the right mix of sense and silliness. It's perfect for the little dog lovers in your life!”
