Summary from Little Tiger Press
Eddie is looking for a friend – a friend who likes adventure. Then Eddie
meets Dog and Dog wants an adventure too. So Eddie takes Dog home and
the pair have a lot of fun until Eddie's mum decides that Dog can't stay
as Dog needs a garden. Will Dog stay away for long?
Nayuleska's thoughts
This book
is brilliant! (hence the top 10/10E rating) The super cute style illustrations
match well with the at times bittersweet, heartbreaking tale which made me
laugh and cry. Eddie and Dog make a perfect pair, who have so much fun until
reality gets involved. I thought Eddie's mother would relent in the end, but it
was a total shock to find out who figured out a happy solution for everyone.
