Boot & Shoe (edition 2012)

The tale of two nearly identical twin dogs and one angry naughty squirrel. This a really cute tale about loyalty, love, and friendship. Boot and Shoe are two dogs with two styes, but when a squirrel mixes them up, they go all out to prove their love for each other. The illustrations in this book are incredible, and it is a fun a joyful read. This book is great for dog lovers, friends, and anyone who enjoys a little humor. Great for readers on many levels.

This book reminded me of two best friends, or family. I have two best friends, together we're like the three amigos. This story reminded me of us because there are most things that we do the same, but very distinct things that make us different. It made me think of what would happen if I showed up at my friends favorite place that wasn't mine and if they showed up at mine, how out of place and worried we'd end up. I also loved the very simple illustrations in this book.
The book is about two dogs, boot and shoe, who have came from the same litter and now live in the same house together and enjoy the same things; From peeing on the same tree, sleeping in the same bed, and eating out of the same dish. The only thing that makes them different is one likes to spend their day on the front porch, and the other on the back porch. One day a squirrel plays a mean trick and gets them to chase him until he gets bored and the one who is usually on the back porch is now on the front, and the one who is usually on the front porch is on the back. They both wonder where they other one is since they're on each other's porches and the other isn't there. After spending an entire night in the rain, hungry and tired, cold and wet, the next morning they go to that same tree to use the bathroom, thinking the other one is dead, and are excited to find each other again!

I loved the illustrations of Boot and Shoe and how they are best buds that look exactly alike. They sort of remind me of my Westie Poopaloo. These stubborn friends wait patiently for the other to return to the "right" place, only to be left all day and night alone waiting for the other. Thankfully they are reunited when both have to pee. I love that they addressed the fact that dogs pee on trees in this book. lol

This book is so cute. It tells the story of two dogs, Boot and Shoe, and how they do everything together at the same time. They love to sit on the porch, Boot loves to sit on the front porch and Shoe loves the back porch. A squirrel happens to come by and cause problems and the dogs chase the squirrel. The squirrel gets bored and leaves and the dogs can't find each other. Boot and Shoe have only switched porches but they decide to wait until the other comes around. They wait for a long time and they miss each other. They eventually find each other when they need to use their favorite bush.
This is a great book. I love the illustrations. This book can be used to talk about siblings. ( )

Have you ever misplaced your best friend, because a squirrel got all up in your business? Well, that's exactly what happens to Boot and Shoe, two canine best friends, but their reunion is sweet and will get a chuckle or two out of any parent. A beautiful book about two doggie friends. ( )
