Review

A determined young Milly puts one bow after another on Hugo, her dog, each one bigger and more attention grabbing than the next. The neighborhood dogs laugh at poor Hugo who in frustration, runs away. Soon, however, he misses his girl, sees a modest plaid bow in a pet store, and brings Milly back to see it. Compromise brings happiness for both girl and dog who enjoy walking through the neighborhood in rain boots and bow. Jaunty cartoon style digital illustrations with accents of red, yellow and green are reminiscent of Harry the Dirty Dog and suit the story's humorous mood.

Overall Book Score: good
