Its an adorable book and my little Boo fan enjoyed it; but not quite as much as "Boo: Little Dog In The Big City". I wish she could have read them in the opposite order. "Little Dog..." just had a bit more humor and creativity. We read them out of the order in which they were written and expectations were a little too high when we got around to the first in the series. My advice: if you have someone who loves Boo or who you think might become a fan; do get both books. Just read them in the order in which they were written.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful.
