“Pet care seems like it’s all fun and games . . . But the slyly funny, watercolor-and-pencil pictures tell a different story. The girl protagonist soon discovers that her scruffy, affectionate, and boundlessly energetic dog has ideas—and a personality—of his own. . . . As readers will recognize early on, the owner and her dog are really two of a kind.” —Publishers Weekly
“The watercolor-and-colored-pencil art provides delightful details. . . . The minimal text works well with the maximal visual storytelling. Beginning readers will be able to read this refreshing tale alone; younger kids will tell it from the pictures.” —Kirkus Reviews
