Mouse and His Dog: A Dogtown Book features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!

Mouse lives in Dogtown, a shelter for real dogs and robot dogs, where the kibble is plentiful, and the rafters hide a secret community of mice. His unlikely best friend is Buster, a big-hearted real dog who attracts trouble like a burr to fur.

Determined to help Buster find his forever home, even if means losing his best pal, Mouse embarks on a bold quest with three of Dogtown’s “unadoptables”: Buster; Stewie, a huge, lovable dog whose ex-owner said he was mean; and Smokey, a robot dog hardwired with a smoke alarm he can’t control.

But Mouse is just a mouse, and the world is big and complicated. How’s a little guy supposed to find homes for the dogs he loves?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Welcome to Dogtown, a shelter for regular dogs—and robot dogs... Super short chapters, perhaps suggesting a dog’s alleged limited attention span, keep the novel’s pace moving briskly toward a climax sure to please animal lovers despite a few sad moments along the way. West’s grayscale art perfectly captures canine emotion and unbridled energy."—School Library Journal, starred review

"Newbery Medalist Applegate and Newbery Honoree Choldenko team up for this uplifting escape novel ...Angular b&w line drawings by West highlight the humorously sketched canine cast, while brief chapters that explore species divides promise to captivate anyone who enjoys rooting for a couple of down-on-their-luck dogs getting a second chance."—Publishers Weekly

"The story offers many moments of laughter and reflection, all greatly enhanced by West’s utterly charming grayscale illustrations of irresistible pooches. Eminently readable and appealing; will tug at dog-loving readers’ heartstrings."—Kirkus Reviews

Mouse is a True Friend

In the second installment of the Dogtown series, I was able to enjoy seeing how the other creatures that live at Dogtown also have a heart to help others. Mouse has a big heart for his friends metal and real. I love the story and the idea that anybody any size can help others.

Everything about this series - is so enjoyable - like a hook on a fish - this series reels you in!

Dogtown is the best! I read the first book to my students last year - occasionally admin would come in grab a square on the carpet and listen - this recording was very well done! I’m hoping for more (as are my students!)
