Book Review

I thought the faces that the characters pulled were funny

I really liked it, and I liked that they were friends by the end of the story.

I thought the faces that the characters pulled were funny, and the pictures of the other dogs at the park were as well.

It was a bit longer than some of the other picture books I have, and I had to ask mummy what some of the words meant.

About the Book

One night, a visitor from outer space arrives in Stephen’s garden. This visitor may look like a Dalmatian, but it certainly doesn’t act like one and at first, Stephen and the visitor get off on the wrong paw.

They quibble over kibble, disagree on who sleeps where, and must abandon earth dogs’ approach to bathroom breaks altogether to keep the peace. Will a shared love of bacon be a strong enough foundation for this ordinary boy and extraordinary dog to learn to live in harmony?
