An adorable addition to Yoon's picture book series. Hand to fans of Mo Willems's Elephant and Piggie, as well as those who love Yoon's other stories. A first purchase for all libraries where little readers frolic. --School Library Journal (starred review) Minimal text captures the pooch's pure lust for life. Yoon's sketchy, cartoonish illustrations are a necessary part of the storytelling, deftly portraying both action and emotion, from utter despondency to pure delight. Little readers will giggle at the dog's silly anti-allergy getup, while similarly afflicted adults will chuckle at its effectiveness. The joy--and angst--of spring, artfully depicted. --Kirkus Reviews A whimsical, charming homage to spring.

Readers will laugh at the puppy's melodramatic ways and empathize with its familiar plight, all while enjoying a story that blossoms with humor and heart. The cartoon art style, with exaggerated, expressive characters, is set against a vibrant, color-speckled field of flowers. A delightful read-aloud, perfect for fans of Mo Willems and Mac Barnett. --Booklist.
