In this book, a little girl adopts an old dog. Her grandmother initially hates the dog, but slowly warms up to him and eventually helps her granddaughter win a blue ribbon with the dog.
I was drawn to this book because of the illustrations. They are beautifully vibrant and full of great patterns. However, I felt the story was a little flat. There was a clear arc with not much drama. I wish there was more substance to this story to go with the lush illustrations. ( )
