Bog-standard cute-dog-finds-a-home tale. Rather a lot of bland messing around and a total lack of drama, but nonetheless my daughter liked it.

A little dog named Mc Duff is thrown off of the pound truck and has nowhere to go, he finally finds a couple who wants to take him into their home and combine with their family. This is a good heart warming story for kids it's talking about animals finding homes, if a student has a dog or even gets

a new puppy it could be a good book to have for them.

McDuff has not had an easy life. He escaped from the dog pound and has been traveling the streets trying to get a family to open their front door and invite him inside. He continues to get denied over and over again, until one couple finally lets him in! They give McDuff a bath, try to figure out

where he came from, and gave him the best meal he's ever had. He is one happy dog. Finally, the couple, Fred and Lucy decide it was time to take him back to the pound. When they begin driving, Fred drives in circles and when asked about it, Fred admits that he doesn't want to take him back to the pound. Lucy agrees, and McDuff has found a new home.

My second attempt to figure out the popularity of this series. Sorry, not happening. Too simplistic; not at all meaningful or significant in any way.

Ah, puppies! I love a good book about cute dogs. Throw in a Shakespeare name and I'm in! McDuff Moves In is the sweetest, little book about adopting a dog and learning to love him.

Little McDuff fell out of a dogcatcher's truck after the truck hit a bump in the road. A family take him in, wanting

to provide him love and care. But, since they are very, very, very busy people there is no possible way they can keep him and give him the love he deserves. The family gets ready to take him to the dog pound, but then decide they love him far too much!

For one, the pictures are absolutely STUNNING. All caps that, because it is seriously artwork in this book. I am totally impressed and blown away at the tones and hues.

I like the story, but I would have loved a little more of a theme or a reason to why they kept them. That educational moment could have propelled this book a little higher rating from me. But hey, that's just me being picky.

I think this book would be awesome for young kids. It's a great way to show dog adoption in a soft way. It does bring all of the feels though, so be ready for some tissues!

Overall, the book is sweet and full of wonderful pictures. It's a super simple story that packs a cute and sweet punch!

Four out of five stars.

I received this book for free through NetGalley.
