Publisher's summary

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?

A Macmillan Audio production from Feiwel & Friends.

Critic reviews

"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
