"An excellent adventure for kids, dog lovers and Doodles!"

"If you're looking for a delightful children's book that sparks imagination and celebrates dreams, this is it!! The whimsical illustrations are so much fun and the narrative is heartwarming. I love reading this with my kids as we are a big dog loving family and the star of the book - Lucy - and her dreams of being different animals, is so sweet and really delightful. We love to imagine that our own dog is having these same dreams. The book seems to really engage my kids and also gets them to focus on dreaming which is great when we read it before bedtime. A nice addition to any kids bookshelf!"
