Say Hello to Zorro! ~ Picture Book & KID KANDY

Say Hello to Zorro!
By Carter Goodrich
(Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2011)

Mister Bud enjoyed living life high on the hog. He had his own everything. Including his own schedule, which he minded with great decisiveness and from which there was no departure. Ever.

Until one day bossy Zorro appeared right at greet and make a fuss time. Zorro was there to stay. Things did not look good for the new canine roommates. Until they noticed that they both had the same schedule. After that, life became one great schedule of fun and companionship.

Though Mister Bud still had his cranky days and Zorro tended to be bossy.

Oh, if you love dogs, this is the book for you. The illustrations are fantastic and the commentary of the pet owner (as part of the story) adds a different viewpoint in addition to that of Mister Bud and Zorro.

Say Hello to Zorro! would be a good book to read if you are considering adding another pet to your family.
