Description

Zoe isn't allowed to have a dog of her own, but fortunately the neighborhood pooches inspire an awesome idea! It's an age-old problem-Zoe wants a dog but can't have one. But that doesn't stop her from befriending all the dogs in her neighborhood-and appreciating each one's charms and quirks. She knows which pups give high-fives, enjoy being read to, and love music. And she also knows she's good at solving problems, so when a visit to the community garden inspires a brilliant doggy idea, it's time to celebrate! Young animal lovers will appreciate Zoe's predicament and love her paws-itively pup-filled solution.

Reviews

A dog lover prevented from pet ownership finds a creative solution. . . . Horans straightforward, minimal text tells a cheerful story. . . . A sweet and gently humorous tale, with lively, colorful illustrations that bring to life a tightknit urban community. Young children will feel empowered witnessing how Zoe finds a way to deal with a seemingly insurmountable issue. . . . An upbeat, charming reminder that any problem can be solved with the right attitude. Kirkus Reviews
