PreS-Gr 2—Arfy, a floppy-eared mutt on Butternut Street, is on a mission to find his forever home. He writes a letter listing all of his admirable attributes (he is potty trained and has his own squeaky toy) to the people in the yellow house. The mail lady delivers Arfy's letter. Unfortunately, the people turn him down. Arfy keeps trying, writing more letters delivered by the mail lady. All write him back and decline his offer. Feeling sad and dejected, Arfy cries himself to sleep in his soggy box. When he wakes he finds a letter from the mail lady asking to be Arfy's person. Arfy, full of glee, sprints to the mail lady with his reply letter. Vibrantly colored digital illustrations, with no white space, captivate readers from the first page. Loosely placed shapes and textures artfully create Butternut Street. The story is told in illustrated, personalized letters. Arfy's are written in crayon and signed with a paw print. Readers will be cheer Arfy on and feel relief when he finds a person to love. The last page lists ways readers can help a homeless animal. VERDICT No bones about it; this humorous picture book will be a hit with storytime audiences and emergent readers.—Mindy Hiatt, Salt Lake County Library Services

If you are looking for a story full of humor and a message of perseverance, hit "Buy It Now". My family has been a fan of Troy's since he visited my son's school last year. REWIND: When I heard Troy Cummings was coming to my son's school, I checked out his "stuff". It didn't take long for me to realize "Dang, this guy is good!" The better children's writers do not write down to their audience, they tell stories that a child will find something in at every level & discover something different each time they read it. We read this for the first time a few nights ago & upon a reread last night, both my sons were pointing out different things. As an adult, Troy's work feels timeless. His artwork reminds me of the old Hanna-Barbera cartoons, so clean and full of joy that you can't help but smile as you read it.The message: This book can be read as a simple A-Z story, but, it's even better when you use it to create a dialog with your child/children. We were able to talk about reacting to your environment, never giving up, why we help others and treating everyone with respect and dignity. At the end of the day, it is a wonderful little story.If you get it now, you can brag to all the other parents how you "discovered" it before it won a Caldecott Medal...
Arfy is a dog in need of a place to stay, so he emBARKS on a mission to find a forever home by writing letters to everyone who lives on Butternut Street; asking the question, one house, one fire station, one butcher shop at a time, “Can I be your dog?†He truly is one persistent pooch! Without much persuasion, I bet that Arfy would have you convinced that he’s the dog for you. Each letter will simply make your heart melt.Can I be Your Dog? was a pure joy to read and it made me want to snuggle with my own fur-baby Schnoodle, Susie-Q, who my nephew used to call “Susie Cute.†She was given to us by my aunt and she has been the sweetest little addition to our family. She is often my reading buddy at night before I go to bed. We are her people as much as she is our dog and we love her to pieces. Much like what we have, Arfy just wanted a family that he could call his own and with each letter he writes, the reader likely will be vying for Arfy to send a letter to them, in which case he would have no problem finding a home because every child is going to want to take him in. When I introduce this book to my students this school year, they are sure to fall in love the same way I did. Something tells me that I’m going to need to get my hands on more than one copy for our library.In this book, Troy Cummings is both author and illustrator and as you flip through the pages you will quickly adore Arfy as a playful, cheerful, determined dog. Here are some of the reasons I really enjoyed this book:The cover! – Our students love dogs and will be drawn to Arfy’s adorable face. Also, note that the forever stamp on Arfy’s envelope is a forever home (LOVE this!)The front matter – There is a collection of awesome stamps to start the book of varying color, price, and size.The letters – Arfy is a pretty persuasive writer. His letters are so sweet and filled with hope. I like the different paper that he finds to write on and the various responses he receives. Some nice, some not so nice…but it only takes one yes!The ending – It will melt your heart (no spoilers, so that’s all I’m going to say).The final letter from Arfy – Arfy provides tips on how to help homeless animals, including links to the ASPCA and the Humane Society.I can think of at least two activities to try with students after reading this book:Have students write a response letter to Arfy. Would they have said yes to him and invited him into their home? Why?Have students write their own persuasive letter as Arfy. What might they want to say that would convince someone to be his forever family?Have you read the book? What else will you plan to do with your students? Maybe a service project to help homeless animals?Be sure to check out Troy Cummings’ other books. I would highly recommend his Notebook of Doom series as it has been a HUGE hit at my school. There are 13 books in total and it is the sort of story that will hook all readers. Check out the trailer on Scholastic’s Branches website (link below in the Shout-Outs).
Troy Cummings visited our school and read this book to the students at LVDS. This story is such a fun idea. The dog writes letters to many people in the community asking for a home. Readers will feel great sympathy for the dog, but love him for his persistence. Fabulous illustrations and colors!
Fabulous story about homelessness in relation to strays and about adopting pets that need a home. Great way to introduce a conversation with children about homelessness in general. Also a fabulous tool for demonstrating letter writing, a lost art for many young people. Teachers can use this for social justice, letter writing, persuasive writing and debate as well as innovation! Language is clear, illustrations delightful!
This story really tugs at your heart strings. Some of my students teared-up, but all were on the edge of their seats hoping that Arfy would find a home. A great read aloud to incorporate into a writing friendly letters unit.
A great book for a grandpa with a rescue dog--and grandchildren 3 and almost 5
This book is comprised of several short letters written by a dog trying to find a home to various people in the neighborhood. The letters are cute and clever and he also receives responses back from the people he writes to. Ultimately he finds a home and you'll find yourself tearing up a bit particularly if you are an animal lover! It's a good story to read to your kids and teach them about the issue of homeless pets and the importance of adopting from shelters! The illustrations are bright and fun making it a visually pleasing book even if kids can't quite understand the message yet.
This is a very sweet book. My daughter can get pretty emotional during sad scenes on TV shows so I wasn't sure how she'd do but she really liked this book and I love that there's a portion at the end about adopting animals.
