WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BUDDY THE DOG

Great message for all

Everyone can benefit from reading this book. The messages are clear- don’t judge on first impressions and be kind to everyone.

Wonderfully illustrated and cleverly written

If a dog could talk, I think it would have related this story just the way the author did. The animals Buddy encounters in this book are brought to life by the illustrator's amazing drawings. Together the author/artist duo created a winner!

Wonderful story and message to children of all ages

I love the story of Buddy, what a sweet dog. The story has a wonderful message to children about acceptance. When I was growing up, kids would bully children on the playground that "looked different." This book conveys to the readers that we should all treat people as equals. I would highly recommend this book to children.
