Books Descriptions
No one wanted the nameless little dog wandering the streets looking
unsuccessfully for food and shelter until kindhearted Fred and Lucy, a
young couple, take him inside. After they feed him rice pudding and bathe
him, they realize that they cannot bear to return him to the pound. Newly
adopted, McDuff-named that night for their favorite shortbread biscuit-
is last seen happily asleep on his back on a pillow next to Fred and Lucy's
bed.Jeffers's illustrations brilliantly capture a bygone art deco America
in Lucy and Fred's cozy home, a virtual-reality nostalgia unfaded. Dog
lovers everywhere will recognize the very specific details that bring
McDuff to life, from the familiar lift of a paw in the rain to the
frightened eyes peeking out over the car dashboard.
