Reviews for Best Buddies

[librarianryan · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

AHHHHHHHHH. That’s it. That's all you need to know. A boy and his dog are best buddies. They do everything together until it is time to go to school. How do you do this when you miss each other so much? This book was adorable and the illustrations are a perfect complement.
