A waggish tale with a serious (and timely) theme

This mash-up of farce, fable, and slapstick ultimately delivers a profound and relevant message

Dog lovers will especially “LOVE” this, and readers who can’t get enough can follow the real-life Plum in the author’s blog.

I think it is a perfect book for sharing and helping younger children understand that even if they do sometimes get up to mischief and get told off they will still be loved. I’m not sure that it is possible for any child (or adult) not to totally fall in love with Plumdog by the end of the story.

Wording is perfect for a 3-6 year old and illustrations are engaging and relay the exuberant and love-worthy Plum.

If Love Is My Favorite Thing isn’t the most fitting title for a book about the devotion of domesticated dogs, I don’t know what is.

Clark exuberantly captures Plum’s zest for life, whether it’s playing with the kids next door or causing trouble

All ends well for Plummie in a picture book that’s just right for a day that celebrates love, even if you’re in the doghouse.
