From School Library Journal

Grade 1-3-Erin's mom has some reservations when, out of all of the dogs at the shelter, her daughter picks a trembling little gray puppy whose tail doesn't wag and whose bark doesn't work. But Erin is confident in her choice. She learns that the first few months of life have been hard for this little pup, and the shelter attendant doesn't spare any of the gruesome details. Even though training Mac (a.k.a. Scaredy Dog) is a bigger responsibility than Erin imagines, she proves herself equal to the task. She showers him with kindness and affection, introduces him to the other dogs in the neighborhood, and teaches him to trust her. In the last scene, Mac has indeed found a place for himself in Erin's family. Black-and-white ink-and-wash drawings appear throughout. The writing flows well in this early-reading selection. Yes, at times, Erin appears exceedingly mature; she is never inconsistent or irritated and always does the right thing for the dog, even when her mother objects (such as feeding at the table). Indeed, Erin's characterization is a major focus of the book and her self-assurance and perseverance are inspirational. A fine choice for animal lovers and those looking for a "feel good" story.
