Customer Reviews

My nephews love this book!

As an animal lover, I'm always looking for fun books to share with my nephews that depict dogs or cats in home settings, closer to being part of a family (and not an accessory). I also love to hear my nephews giggle. While Mr. Hibble isn't so crazy about his companion's antics, my nephews fell in love with Jake. (They like to tease me that Jake should go to live at my house to teach my dogs some manners.) For all those aunts and uncles out there, get this book! The illustrations are awesome (some of the books out there--Yikes!).

Hilarious!

I read this book to my 5 year old and we were rolling on the floor. The dog, Jake is completely adorable. The expressions on the his face alone are worth the price of this book. I think kids will get a laugh just picturing their own pet dogs doing some of the things this one does. Very fun book to read and I highly recommend it!
