"Playful puns by Gephart and Houran, accompanied by lovable characters expressively illustrated by Cleland in vibrant colors and textures, set up this chapter book series for a howlingly good beginning." * Publishers Weekly * "[ T]this funny early chapter book will easily find an audience...A waggish new series tailor-made made for dog lovers." * Kirkus * "Gephart is a readers writer. Her use of alliteration, onomatopoeia, and punny wordplay transform the work-a-day plot into a bouncy romp...Illustrator Cleland adeptly creates bright, loose, retro illustrations on each page...Gepharts writing is strong." * School Library Journal *
