Good Dog, McTavish by Meg Rosoff
4.0
What happens with a mom decides that she is tired of doing thing for the family and goes on strike?
In this case, the family goes out and gets a dog, and a good thing to, or else they would have starved to death and warn dirty clothes the rest of their natural lives.
This is such a fun book. McTavish, the dog, knows that the family is broken, and uses his wiles to get the family to start, gasp, doing things for themselves.
For example, when they dont't wash their own clothes, he takes them and hides them until they run out of anything to wear, and have to get the clothes back, and wash out the dog smell.
And when he stops eating, Betty, the youngest, asks the vet what the dog should eat, and so she starts making veggies and chicken and rice for the dog, and it smells so good, and tastes so good, that the kids give up eating junk food to eat the "dog food."
Will the mother come off strike? Will every one survive? Will they ever get to school on time?
So much fun, and I hope there are more stories about McTavish at some point.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
