Amazing illustrations and a heartwarming story for kids. I absolutely adored the illustrations, they did not follow the soulless new styles, they are classy and cozy. The story follows a dog looking for a home and family. You could really see the emotions on the illustrations. Fantastic edition!
Very ordinary story of rescuing a dog. Dog lovers might like it, some kids also because most of them like animals and of course dogs, but for me this was just too ordinary and the arts wasn't in my liking.
A wonderful and sweet story with amazing illustrations.
I think both adult and children will love it as it's moving and heartwarming.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.

Review:
Thank you to Netgalley for giving me a free copy of this book!
The drawings in this book were a bit of a letdown, therefore I didn't give it the full 5 stars. The story itself was great! I loved the little dog and his journey to found a new home. It was very adorable and cute. Highly recommend!

Rosemary Wells, McDuff Moves In (Hyperion, 1999)
I posted a ways back about two of the McDuff books and how I wasn't too thrilled with them. Why, you will probably be asking, did I read more of them? Well, I review things out of order; all four of them showed up at Goat Central at the same time, and we read all four over the course of two nights, and the bean didn't hate them, really, so I kept going. (Which also explains why I posted about books later in the series before this one; sorry for the confusion). This is the initial McDuff book, where the stray—as we open—McDuff finds is way into the household where the rest of the series' hijinks occur. Of the four we've read (to the best of my knowledge, there are five books in the series; grandma hasn't tracked down the fifth yet), this was my favorite; the anachronisms germane to the rest of the series hadn't fully formed yet, and with the story focusing more on the dog than the people who come to adopt him, there's more of a timeless feeling to it. I wouldn't say it's a simpler tale, really, but it feels that way. But I still haven't tried the whole slicing sausages into my rice pudding thing. ***
