The core of this book is about friendship and the bonds a girl has with her aging dog.

Who remembers making shadow puppets on the wall with your hands. This book is just like those shadow puppets, but instead of hands, it’s a giant dog whose shadow makes him look larger than he is. Like a big, furry flea!

If you have dogs, especially big fluffy ones you’ll enjoy this book. Based on the author’s real pet, Max who is now close to 14 years old, the sweet loveable dog can no longer walk long distances but remains as sweet as can be. He is featured in this cute little book about a girl and her dog.

Meet Claire, a young girl who LOVES her dog, Max. Just before the sun sets, it casts a wild-looking shadow on the ground that accentuates every part of Max’s fluffy exterior. When Max, a giant black labradour walks down the street, he looks like a big, furry flea! If you don’t believe me, you’ll just have to follow along and read for yourself.
