Format: Picture Book Fiction
Goodreads

Two neighbors have nothing in common until they notice they both like to watch an old man walking his dog. They still have nothing else in common, but one day they both notice the old man doesn’t have his dog anymore. They both take on a quest to find the dog, and in the process, they find they have much more in common than they previously thought.

This is a sweet story of friendship that reminds us how we’re all connected more closely than we believe. The story is a little metaphorical at times but not so much that kids will be lost. Corinna Luyken comes throught will beautiful and colorful illustrations, per usual. The overall theme of the book is blue and red, and the combinations of those two colors throughout bring the commonalities of the two friends to the forefront. Recommended for readers 3 and up.
