Customer Reviews

Adorable!

I love that they've combined 4 of the McDuff stories under one cover. This is a great gift for a child who does not have any McDuff books. The illustrations are gorgeous and right on the mark as far as capturing the Westie personality. My children love the McDuff tales almost as much as they love their own Westie, Auggie.

Really fun

The McDuff stories are so much fun. The illustrations are so unique and rich. My 6 year old daughter really loves to read these books. Not only are they about a really adorable dog, but they are fun to read, too. After your second or 3rd McDuff story, you really get attached to this dog! We're on a mission to collect all the McDuff stories, so this is a great book to start with!

Absolutely the CUTEST children's book ever!

As the owner of an adorable Westie puppy, I couldn't resist this book. Even tho' I'm an adult, I enjoyed this book immensely, because of the cute little stories and the incredibly cute Westie drawings. I could be a little biased (that could be my little Katie!), but I think it's the cutest children's book I've ever seen! It's quite obvious the author & artist are Westie owners, and they've put their experiences to good use!

Wonderful stories with incredible illustrations.

Being the owner of a Scottie, Westie and a Cairn, I am so impressed with how the expressions and nuances of the Westie are so realistic and well captured. This is a story/picture book for children of all ages. I am a 39 year old child and I just love the pictures as I have seen the expressions in my own real life "McDuff" - actually his name is Bentley.

We love McDuff!

My children and I were absolutely delighted to discover these adorable books. We have always had Westies, so these beautifully illustrated heartwarming stories are very special; but to tell the truth, anyone who loves dogs will love McDuff. With so many fast action, violence filled books competing for kids' attention, these stories offer a welcome option. I have found that children from the toddler stage through the teenage years are enchanted with both the illustrations and stories. They vividly recall an old fashioned world of friendly neighbors and cozy times. My own children are older now--l4,l8 and 21--but they still chuckle about little McDuff and whenever they see me cleaning off the bookshelves, they make certain to remind me in no uncertain terms not to "give any of those books away!"
