PreS-Gr 2–The latest series installment is for dog-loving early readers. Judy and Stink have a friend named Izzy who wants nothing more than to have a dog of her own. Izzy loves and takes care of all types of pets, but nothing compares to the affection she has for dogs. When she asks her parents for a puppy, they tell her “someday.” Izzy decides to write a letter to her future dog, and when she receives a reply, she can’t believe it. McDonald continues to write fun and realistic stories for beginning chapter book readers. Any reader who enjoys quick chapters and beautiful full-color illustrations throughout will be excited to enter this adventure. The pets shared throughout the story will appeal to animal lovers, too.
VERDICT A wonderful addition to any early childhood or elementary school library, this is a perfect purchase for any collections where the “Judy Moody” or the “Stink” series circulate well.
