Dog Interview: How Jeff Found the Perfect Dog, by Philip Habeeb

 

How do you find the perfect dog? After impatiently waiting for years, Jeff faces the problem of too many dogs to decide between. Even when he interviews them, it really isn't helpful even if the dogs are decidedly honest. Love how the illustrations by Juan Diaz so perfectly captured the various dog personalities. 

I was actually hooked from the opening but won't spoil the fun for you. I'll just say you'll root for Jeff and be wondering which of the many dogs you'd pick yourself. I definitely liked how the not-so-perfect dog finds Jeff. As is to often the case, the dog chooses us. In any case, this is a fun, quick read that will surely delight young dog lovers everywhere. You'll meet Jeff at a very young age, learn his early doggie thoughts and his first word, which I'm sure you can guess. 

So, fun story, cute, lively illustrations full of energy and personality, and a happily ever after ending. Thanks #AmplifyPublishing for sharing this with me. Even better, I read it aloud to me own furry friend and she gives it four paws up and a tail wag.
