Another book that Mackenzie and I enjoyed together. I love having a series that keeps her engaged and answering some basic questions about what we've read. In this story, Bobby continues to emerge out of his "shy" shell. He enters Lucy into a Pet-O-Rama spokespet contest for the local store. Will she win? There's only one way to find out!

This book will always have a special place in my heart. I loved the story line, the conflict, and the sweet mention of all of the animals. The whole book was so wonderful. Bobby is such shy little boy, and seeing him have to face his fears is really sweet.

I can see myself rereading this book at least once a year. 10/10.

A shy young boy enters his beloved, cute dog Lucy in a spokespet contest for a national pet shop against stiff competition. A good chapter book for transitional readers about overcoming fear and shyness.

I read this story with my daughter. It didn’t seem to matter that we hadn’t read the first two books in the series. They were fun characters. My daughter especially empathized with the boy who is so shy he can hardly talk to people, as she has selective mutism.

We happened to read this book at the Sam time we read All About Sam, both of which have a pet contest, so that made this book extra fun.

I have read this book and it was a little disappointing when the dog didn't win the contest...the parrot does.

A delightful story about a shy boy who enters his adorable pet dog Lucy in a pet contest. This chapter book (102 pages) is about a 3rd grade reading level, but can be enjoyed by younger and older children.

This is a sweet story. The boy gets over his shyness by talking about his pet. He has a good attitude when his pet loses the contest.

This is a cute book for 3rd and 4th graders. I think boys would enjoy it, too, since the main character is a boy. Would make a good book for parents to use if homeschooling their child.
