This children's book has brief text and delightful illustrations, which will encourage young readers and be great for bedtime stories. In a town called Dogwood, based on the author's hometown, a new dog appears looking for friendship and is introduced by the mayor to the other dogs in the town, with happy results.

Illustrated with vibrant colors, this book is a joy to look at even before one knows how to read all of the words. It has a beautiful message about not judging others based on looks or being new to a place.
I enjoyed the expression on each of the dogs faces, especially the eyes. A beautiful book that will be appreciated each time it is read.
