A charming and clever picture book that flips the traditional pet adoption story by having a young boy, Jeff, interview dogs to find his perfect match. Each dog brings a unique and humorous personality, making the process both entertaining and meaningful. With engaging dialogue, playful illustrations, and a heartwarming message about connection and thoughtfulness, this book teaches kids the value of listening, asking questions, and choosing companionship wisely. It’s a delightful read for dog lovers and families alike.

Thanks to NetGalley and Amplify Publishing for this advanced reading copy of Dog Interview. This book was released on June 3rd.

A fun story on a child’s first dog; this book has readers laughing over talking dogs who interview to be the boy’s dog. This book has great illustrations and words easy to sound out. My seven year old laughed as she read this with me. I can’t wait to buy this for my library!

How do you find the perfect dog? After impatiently waiting for years, Jeff faces the problem of too many dogs to decide between. Even when he interviews them, it really isn't helpful even if the dogs are decidedly honest. Love the illustrations by Juan Diaz that so perfectly captured the various dog personalities.

I was actually hooked from the opening but won't spoil the fun for you. I'll just say you'll root for Jeff and be wondering which of the many dogs you'd pick yourself. I definitely liked how the not-so-perfect dog finds Jeff. As is to often the case, the dog chooses us. In any case, this is a fun, quick read that will surely delight young dog lovers everywhere. You'll meet Jeff at a very young age, learn his early doggie thoughts and his first word, which I'm sure you can guess.

So, fun story, cute, lively illustrations full of energy and personality, and a happily ever after ending. Thanks #AmplifyPublishing for sharing this with me. Even better, I read it aloud to me own furry friend and she gives it four paws up and a tail wag.

Fun and lighthearted way to learn reading, suggested for dog lovers little ones. It has a nice graphic too

A beautifully illustrated little children’s book I thoroughly enjoyed reading with my son. About finding the perfect puppy friend to join your family. Incredibly sweet and gentle book.

This book is utterly adorable!! The first great aspect of this book was how the author set up the story using a popular and highly relatable kids' book theme: wanting a puppy. Secondly, this book was unique because it took a popular theme and added something new to it. The new thing that was woven into this story was interviewing various dogs to see if they are the perfect pet for the main character. I thought that this was such a fun and different idea, and it made for a very entertaining and well-rounded story. The author did a spectacular job of giving each dog interviewee a distinct and fun personality, and it was such a joy to read. Lastly, the illustrations were absolutely amazing! They were crisp and vibrant, and truly brought each dog AND each dog's personality to life. The illustrator's ability to connect the visuals with the writing so well was highly impressive. I had so much fun reading this book, and I know for certain that so many kids will enjoy it as well!

This was so adorable! I loved all of the dog illustrations. I laughed at a few of the questions and the dogs responses.

I loved the story, its just so cute. Dog interview is a cute little story of trying to find the perfect dog, and the relationship with your first dog when you've been wanting one your whole life.

I absolutely loved the illustrations and how they've been able to distinguish the dogs from each other and their different personalities.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Ok this was adorable.

I immediately inhaled this one on my tablet and enjoyed every page. The art is lovely. The story is so silly in the best of ways and the ending is just wonderful. I loved this one.
