"Tricia DellAnno writes in child-friendly lyrical prose and describes changes made by the child overtime...The transition from no dog to dog is measured and DellAnno is brilliant in describing how it unfolds. The artwork is spectacular. Jim Pearson breathes life into the family, their home, and their neighborhood in a palette of primary colors that are beautifully subdued, depicting the changing of seasons through sketch and original illustrations. Overall, this is a wonderful children's book and a welcome addition to our bedtime rotation."
