Top Children's Book - 2017 Animals, Animals, Animals Book Festival"I love this book for SO many reasons!! The simple acts of kindness demonstrated by Ed and those around him speaks volumes to his character, and teaches children that you can never be too busy to help another living being." - Kid's Book Club "I thoroughly enjoyed reading this charming children's book because it is filled with life lessons, important for children to learn. Throughout the story, we learn the importance of caring for our furry friends and understanding that they have feelings too. The illustrations are perfect for the story and exquisitely drawn. The characters of the dogs are brought to life and are exactly how I hope dogs would feel about their owners. The story is full of suspense as they try to locate the lost puppies and I can see children getting really enthralled in the book, wondering how the story will end. Parents will really enjoy the message behind the story and it conveys a kind and considerate message to little ones." - Reader's Favorite"Overall, a delightful book for both children and adults to enjoy and learn a few lessons along the way. The real photographs of Lily & Lucy, Max and Tucker on the last page of this book will melt your heart because they are so adorable! Excellent story with wonderful illustrations. A book for all ages, can be a great addition to your kid's library! Adore it!" - Reading With Your Kids"This charming children's book involves the true story of two abandoned puppies, Lily and Lucy, and the great lengths one family goes to rescue them. There are a lot of comical moments of just dogs being dogs, and plenty of twists and turns. As one with rescued animals at home, the social message of this book about the huge number of abandoned animals out there needing homes resonates strongly. Well-illustrated and heartwarming, I highly recommend this book," - R. David Fulcher, Author
