Shoot for the Moon: Lessons on Life from a Dog Named Rudy

The author’s dog Rudy inspired quotes that bring hope, happiness, and love. It’s a book for all ages with simple statements that even Rudy would agree.

I like the artwork which is very simple not much detail much like the quotes, short and sweet. The author shows that Rudy has a wonderful life and by watching him suggesting that we should too. Whether it is painting or letting off some steam at the moon. Very cute and sweet. ( )

So many inspiring messages from Rudy the dog star of this quick read. There's a message of hope....a reminder to not lose faith in tomorrow. There's a message of promise....a new day always brings a new chance to see things in a different way. It's a message that despite the way things look right now, things can and will get back on track if we only learn to roll with the punches. Ah Rudy....you have no idea how much your message hits home right now. Combine all of that with the simple yet beautiful illustrations, and you'll find yourself carried away on Rudy's enthusiasm but wait! Before you get carried away by his charms, you'll want to note this....Rudy speaks from experience. That's right. His life wasn't always kibbles and the bits....more like the bits with a lot less of the kibbles. Despite his troubles, in the end he came out on top with an enduring spirit and a gentle heart....something we can all learn a thing or two from.

So whether you are looking for a wonderful picture book to share with the young readers in your life (because let's face it, who doesn't like a book featuring an adorable dog like Rudy?), a pick me up for yourself to aid in facing life's challenges, or a gift for someone else that needs that little boost of courage and faith....this book was made for you. Young and old, rich and poor, happy and sad, Rudy will bring a smile to your face, a tear to your eye and a glow to your heart.
