Princess Allee is the first installment in the Furever Home Friends series by Savy Leiser. Allee dreams of being a princess. She wants to live in a big castle and wear a sparkly crown. There's only one problem. Allee lives in an animal shelter.
One day, a woman named Stacy comes to visit Allee. They both knew it was a perfect match at first sight. Allee can't wait to go live in her castle!
The precocious pup soon discovers that Stacy's house is not a castle at all. It's just a normal house with two other dogs, Sammy and Buddy. This is definitely NOT what Allee had pictured. Will she ever be happy with her new home?
I love this story! I couldn't stop laughing from start to finish. Allee has so much class and sass. Her character reminds me of Naughty Mabel. I could totally see them going out for tea together.
Leiser does a beautiful job of depicting shelter life from the dog's perspective. Children will fall in love with Allee and will be able to relate to her dreams of a princess lifestyle.
Brenda Clemente's illustrations are gorgeous. Allee's character is simply breathtaking. I found Sammy's character to be beyond adorable. He reminds me of my grandma's chocolate Chihuahua, Tiggy. Children will be drawn to the colorful cast of canine characters.
This is a wonderful book for dogs lovers of all ages.
