Another Wonderful Book by Avi

I have yet to read or listen to a book by Avi that hasn’t been fantastic. My phone year old son’s 1st remark as the audiobook concluded was, “Is there another Good Dog book?”

Overall Review About The good dog

It was good at parts but was stretched out a bit and had a lot of details.
