Customer Reviews

Show Dog

McCarthy's colorful and fun illustrations along with her quirky characters create a wonderful story enjoyed by both children and parents alike. Ed (the Hubbles family dog) is far from perfect, but is lovable in his own way, like many family pets. Show dog is a wonderful story and kids will enjoy the details found in the illustrations. Overall it is a wonderful story, and I recommend it to all.

Show Dog is a fun read!

Ed is the kind of dog that only his family can understand and appreciate. They are so amazed by his wonderful talents that they enter him in the county fair dog show. Surely Ed will win. Why not? By being himself, he certainly will win the hearts of all who see him...especially a fluffy female pedigree. The bright and fun illustrations and fun humor are entertaining for both children and their reading mentors.
