This is a cute book and a portion of the proceeds goes towards dog shelters, which in this tough economic climate are feeling the pinch. I also recomend “Hobo Finds A Home” which is another very cute children’s book, but it’s about a cat. A portion of the royalties goes to Second Chance Animal Sanctuary based in Tioga Pennsylvania.

What a wonderful story to share with your family and other children. I bought an extra copy and donated it to my son’s pre-school. The children loved it and it sends a great message.

This book is a nice, simple story with a great message: when you want to get a pet, adopt! The pictures are lovely and the book was written by a teenager, which makes it appealing and lively for young children. I highly recommend it.

This is a cute book for the child that is an animal lover. A donation was made to petfinder.com and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to Aunt Mary’s Doghouse, that’s great. The book isn’t illustrated, but done with photographs. It’s about a girl finding the right pet for her, and it’s a pet from a shelter. If you love this book and love cats, check out “Hobo Finds A Home” which is about a stray cat who found a home.
