Garth Stein’s picture book debut about the lovable dog Enzo from The Art of Racing in the Rain is a wonderful story about coming home.
Children with pets will be delighted by Enzo’s unforgettable personality and funny antics of the dog who feels like a person inside.
Enzo the puppy’s action-packed adventure begins when he makes the journey from the farm to the city and finds the family that was meant to be his.
Life on the farm is pretty quiet, except when he is racing the cars that come down the barn road.
Enzo knows he is different from other dogs, but people never understand him when he barks, and it drives him crazy.
When Enzo meets Denny and his daughter Zoë everything changes.
Soon he’s living in the city, learning about all the new things in his environment and discovering the joys of speed and his love of racing.
The wonderful illustrations bring Enzo to life as he learns to adapt to life in his new home and discovers just what it means to become a family.
Young readers will love both the story and the great pictures of Enzo and his new life.
