APPEALS TO: MANY 

A little girl has lost her pug Kirby. As she travels through town looking for him, she encounters several different kinds of dogs doing dog appropriate things. For example golden retrievers are pleasers, poodles are overachievers, border collies are always on the job. The reader also sees that the pug she is looking for, is busy causing traffic jams all over town. 

 A fun story which highlights lots of different kinds of dogs. The illustrations are fun and busy with lots of different things to see and point out. A nice story about celebrating differences. Dog lovers will love this book. The main character is black.
