Readers who will like this: Children who enjoy stories with dogs will like this book.
Response/Rating (1-4): I would rate this book a 3. It has a good storyline about any older pet or even sibling, and the sort of rivalry that ensues between them.
One question you would ask before a read aloud: How would/did you feel if your parents brought home another child? Do you think pets feel the same way?
