"Love, dogs, and concepts come together in this sweet story that will have little ones counting up the rescue dogs and then back down again as each one finds a loving home. " - Seira Wilson, Amazon Editor

Erica Sirotich’s artwork has graced kids' publications, toy packaging, greeting cards, websites, and apps. In her previous creative life, she owned and operated Cuddlefish Press, where she created prints for children’s rooms and nurseries. Erica is now a full-time author/illustrator and lives in Florida with her own found dog, Russell Redfur.
PreS-Gr 1—In this tail-waggingly fun concept book, Sirotich counts 10 canines in an animal shelter, from "1 dog, long and low" to "10 dogs, slobbering hounds." The narrator reassures the animals that forever homes are right around the corner: "Soon, dogs, you'll be found!" The following spread depicts a cheerful group of people waiting in line to adopt the animals. Next, the author counts down as she presents the dogs with their new owners, starting with the "slobbering hounds," who greet 10 waving humans ("10 dogs, saying hello") and ending with the "long and low" dachshund, who cuddles in the lap of a little girl who uses a wheelchair ("1 dog, on her way"). Every pup has managed to find just the right owner; the "spotty, shiny" dalmatians are eventually paired with firefighters, while the huskies, "dressed for snow," are adopted by a quartet of youngsters clad in boots and hats. Created in ink, using brushes and pen, and composed and colored digitally, the cartoon art is energetic and funny, full of exaggerated details—from the puddles of drool all around the grinning hounds to the droopy expressions on a quintet of pouting pooches—that are bound to delight children. The text is simple yet features plenty of rhyme and alliteration, which adds a dash of verve. VERDICT Share this offering one-on-one or with a group; it's guaranteed to jazz up counting collections and will hopefully send pet seekers off to the pound.—Mahnaz Dar, School Library Journal
