Can he find a home despite his flaws?

Buddy Finds a Home Reviews

  • Ursula Gorman

    ‘Buddy Finds a Home’ by Rachel Edmiston is a sweet story of a slightly scruffy, energetic and loveable puppy named Buddy. Buddy is the last of the litter and still, no one has chosen him to go home with them. Buddy decides to find his own family; only, it isn’t as easy as he thought it would be.
    Buddy wonders why no one choses him…is he too rambunctious? Too odd looking? Too small? Surely there is a family out there that wants him. Buddy just wants a loving family with a little boy that he can call his own.
    Follow along with Buddy as he goes through his adventure of finding his family. You will come to adore Buddy…
    This would be a perfect gift for any young child, especially one that loves puppies. This would also make an ideal gift for a pre-school or kindergarten class.

    This story of how one family found a very imperfect dog and how he made a perfect addition to their family is a good lesson in how love can overlook differences. My six year old daughter truly enjoyed the book, especially when she realized it was a true story. I would recommend this book for children 6 to 8.
