Customer Reviews

My 8 year old daughter and I loved it

We are homeschoolers, and we used it as a reader for her. It's a delightful book to read, and the artwork is fabulous.

A must for shy kids!

We stumbled upon this book at our local library as my then 3yr old son loves any books with dogs. We've subsequently purchased it. Turns out this book is not only a great book of 3 short stories, but it also has a great lesson too. My son is pretty shy and this book is about, what else, but a shy dog, as well as a bossy dog and some bossy cats. It explains that while the dogs are different, they both have good qualities. Buster finds his way to shine even in the shadow of "Phoebe". A great book for anyone, but a must read for shy kids! Carolyn
