“In spare text, broken into color-coded speech bubbles, Hudson deftly explores the
feelings of jealousy and frustration that often ensue when we compare ourselves to others . . . The anthropomorphic dogs cut hilarious figures in the watercolor-and–colored pencil artwork . . . A gentle reminder that there are more important things than aspiring to being the best.” —Kirkus
“Hudson’s delicate watercolor and colored pencil art populates a sunny green meadow with exceedingly expressive pups . . . The mix of sly and silly, which captures the dynamics of a visually detailed dog community and includes a couple of late-arc gags, is just right to elicit laughs.” —Publishers Weekly
“From competition and jealousy to care and cooperation, this story covers the range of reactions involved in ownership and loss. A delightful read that will keep youngsters searching for more details every time they open the book.” —School Library Journal
