Customer Reviews

Holy Toledo!

Of course there are always giggles when we get to the line, "Holy Toledo!" but my daughter also always laughs when Fred has to dig dog tunnels for McDuff to go out into the snow. This book includes pleasant illustrations and a fun little story. I think I've read it about 5 times today to my 3 year old! We're both enjoying it. I must say, the McDuff books are much better than Clifford the Big Red Dog. We're converted!

Keeps them in suspense...

My son, age 3, loves this book. The nighttime setting and wait for Santa gives it suspense, and McDuff's ventures out into the snow make for a very vivid read! It's his favorite McDuff story, along with McDuff Comes Home.

Kaitlynd, Roger, and Lindsay LOVED this book!

We are 2nd graders. Our names are Kaitlynd, Roger, and Lindsay. We have been reading books by Rosemary Wells. Our favorite book is McDUFF's NEW FRIEND. Kaitlynd liked the part when it was snowing. It makes her happy when it snows. Roger liked this book because the dog gets a kitten for a Christmas present. Lindsay liked the part at the end of the story when McDuff got the kitten. It made her happy when McDuff got a friend.

A new, cherished Christmas story!

Westie owners and westie lovers unite! McDuff has starred in another wonderful story! My children and I love the new book in the McDuff series. It is apparent that the author and illustrator have these wonderful little dogs in their midst for inspiration. We often see our Linus lying in the same way McDuff lies, giving us the same expression McDuff gives Fred and Lucy, and giving our children the "awful squinting looks" McDuff gives the baby. My personal favorite line from the new book: "McDuff is empty!"

Fun Addition To The McDuff Series

As a Westie owner and lover of children's books, this title fits well with the others in the series. Sure to be a hit with the small children at Christmastime, McDuff helps Santa when he's in need. The illustrations are fantastic and capture the heart of this little breed.
