This is about a dog who helped his mail carrier owner deliver the mail. sometimes he moves fast sometimes slow. He was excited to deliver mails but wanted to receive one too. he had a friend name lacey who tied flowers on his ears and gve him hugs finally one day sent him a letter in the mail. He was so excited he kept on jumping all over the place.

Terrific illustrations and a story that preschoolers can relate to - what happens when the mail comes and there is never anything for me? Larabee and his mail carrier owner are best friends, and Luthardt's illustrations are full of affection for his characters.
Appealing illustrations in gouache, colored pencil and acrylic on paper; short story; suitable for story time.
A dog deserves mail too :-)
Larabee is the mail man's dog. He loves to help deliver the mail. Larabee would love to get some mail of his own, but dogs don't get mail. One day, Larabee's friend Lacey sends him a letter and makes him one happy puppy.
What I thought: A lovely book. Mail is one of my favorite things. I'm glad Larabee received some. The illustrations are bright and colorful. They are almost reminiscent of a cartoon.
