From School Library Journal
PreSchool-Grade 1. In another winning story about the perky West Highland white terrier, McDuff, and his owners, Lucy and Fred, a new baby joins the family. Since the infant interferes with the dog's favorite activities of listening to the comics read aloud, taking woodsy walks, and enjoying a nightly musical program on the radio (not to mention no longer being the center of attention), he rebels by glowering at the plump child and then by refusing his food. His understanding owners immediately resume McDuff's beloved routine, and he begins tentative communication with the little girl. This gentle lesson about overcoming sibling rivalry is told very simply and is perfectly illustrated with full- and double-page softly realistic paintings of the winsome Westie, with his expressive face and his comfortable, middle-class family, set against a 1930s background.?Patricia Pearl Dole, formerly at First Presbyterian School, Martinsville, VA

Customer Reviews

McDuff a Family Favorite
My one-year-old daughter loves McDuff. The illustrations are what really make this book stand out. They convey a sense of humor that even adults can enjoy - we love when McDuff gives the baby squinty looks! We read every night but McDuff and the Baby is the only book that she will sit all the way through - smiling at every page. We look forward to more McDuff books!

A perfect little book, about a perfect little dog!
I loved this book! I bought it for my niece because I have aWestie. The illustrations compliment the story extremely well. Youcan really tell that the writer and illustrator both own Westies! I recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs, especially little McDuffs.

My son fell in love with McDuff!
I began reading McDuff and the Baby to my son when he was 4 days old and he is now 13 months and it is still his hands-down favorite. We have purchased all of the McDuff books and the character has captured all of our hearts. I strongly recommend this book and the others in the series to all parents who want their children to love reading!
