Two misfit shelter dogs await adoption in this story about friendship, family, and home.
“Charming … Readers will root for Moose, who has one eye, and Bear, who has three legs, from the first page … Pate’s soft illustrations capture the heart of the story and are a perfect match to Greenwald’s sweet text… Budding readers will devour this series opener and be eager for more. A highly recommended new addition to the beginning chapter book section.”
“Warm and snuggly.”
“A gentle and sweet start to a new chapter book series … (with) adorable, soft-toned illustrations (that) show emotions and playful action equally well. Readers will love the instant connection between the two dogs, especially the funny conversation they have about how neither of them resemble their animal name.”
—Youth Services Book Review
“Shiho was the perfect choice to illustrate these stories—her funny, poignant and heartbreakingly sweet drawings make you fall in love with these characters. She also weaves in countless little details into the images, so when you’re reading the book, keep an eye out!”
—Charlie Greenwald

“Phumiruk creates dreamy scenes with soft hues of color… a stirring story of perseverance.”
When your village floats on stilts in a bay, it’s hard to find a place to play soccer. Hard, but not impossible, as this inspiring story of the boys who worked hard to create their own floating soccer field can attest!
Best New Books in September 2023 for Kids and Teachers
“Told in quick-moving prose that evokes movement and sound, this story is coupled with crisp illustrations that match the spirit and the straightforward action of the text. The boys of Koh Panyee … invite the readers to think about what lengths people can go to make their dreams come true.”

From the author, Darshana Khiani:
I love Dow’s dreamy soft-colored illustrations. My favorite spread is the one which gives a birds-eye view of the village: a storefront selling clothing, a fisherman paddling in with his day’s catch, and the boys rushing over to watch the game at Uncle Hemmin’s cafe.
