Ok, I judged this book by its cover and did not think I would like it at all. But it is so funny and cute...I loved it! Kids will, too.

This is a very cute little story and I love that it shows that being "good" all the time might not be that much fun and you might need to shake things up a little. A good reminder for kids who always want to be "good".

Every day is the same for good old Doggo... until his owners bring a new puppy into the house! Cute.

You can find my full review on my blog, The Bookwyrm's Den, here.
Many thanks to Macmillan for a copy in exchange for an honest, unbiased review.
My 10-year-old daughter reviewed this book for my blog, so I'll post her thoughts here.
The book is mostly about a dog named Doggo that doesn’t do a lot, and his owners bring a new puppy for him to spend time with. The puppy, Pupper, was always getting in trouble so the owners sent him off to charm school. The theme of this book would be that people that you don’t like to start with can become your friend.
I gave this book five stars because I really like dogs and the main characters were dogs. I also like books where animals can talk because they tell what the animal is feeling. At some parts this book was funny, and I really like funny books.
The main thing that I like about about Doggo is that he doesn’t really smile a lot because he probably has a boring life, but he always says that he likes his life the way it is. I also like that when the cat says, “How was your day?” he always says, “Same old, same old. It could have been worse.” The main thing that I like about Pupper is that he is always bugging Doggo and my dog is always bugging me. I also really like that he is always messing around and being silly.
Five things she enjoyed:
- Pupper was always messy and silly. I like that because that is what my dog is.
- It was funny at some parts and I like funny books.
- Every time that Pupper or his owner had an idea something bad happened.
- At first Doggo hated Pupper but at the end they became friends.
- Every time that the cat asked how Doggo’s day was, he said, “Same old, same old. It could have been worse.” He even said that after he went on a fun car ride with Pupper.

Like, kids are going to want to read this book because of the words Doggo and Pupper in the title and the fact that it's a highly illustrated, cartoony book about dogs. But... it's a very slight story, not as funny as it should be, and for most of the book the dogs are relatively realistic (to outside appearances anyway), but then Doggo drives a car? Meh.
