Ah, puppies! I love a good book about cute dogs. Throw in a Shakespeare name and I'm in! McDuff Moves In is the sweetest, little book about adopting a dog and learning to love him.

Little McDuff fell out of a dogcatcher's truck after the truck hit a bump in the road. A family take him in, wanting to provide him love and care. But, since they are very, very, very busy people there is no possible way they can keep him and give him the love he deserves. The family gets ready to take him to the dog pound, but then decide they love him far too much!

For one, the pictures are absolutely STUNNING. All caps that, because it is seriously artwork in this book. I am totally impressed and blown away at the tones and hues.

I like the story, but I would have loved a little more of a theme or a reason to why they kept them. That educational moment could have propelled this book a little higher rating from me. But hey, that's just me being picky.

I think this book would be awesome for young kids. It's a great way to show dog adoption in a soft way. It does bring all of the feels though, so be ready for some tissues!

Overall, the book is sweet and full of wonderful pictures. It's a super simple story that packs a cute and sweet punch!

Four out of five stars.
