I loved the way the friendship developed in this story. It's reminder that we are all invested in the success of each other.

A gentle book about how caring about someone or something can bring strangers together. The illustrations are dazzling and communicate the story richly on their own.

Two neighbours live next to each other but their lives have never intersected as they have nothing in common… or so they think. This is a sweet and charming tale, but what stood out even more for me are the beautiful illustrations.
abigailbat's review against another edition
Two children live across the alley from one another and each watch the same old man and his dog but otherwise have nothing to common. When the old man's dog goes missing, the two children are the only ones that notice and so they come together to start searching for the dog and thus form a new friendship. This beautiful picture book is whimsical and hushed, and it reminded me a lot of Oliver Jeffers's quirky and moving picture books.

Very sweet story about similarities we don’t know we have with each other.
