My daughter was SO excited to see our dog Max in the story. She keeps pointing at the page saying 'Look, it's Max!' Now she wants a new book for every family adventure.

I ordered one with my grandchildren and their dog. When they saw the whole family on the pages — including Grandpa — they were absolutely speechless.

My son wanted his best friend in the story too. Now both kids have matching books and they read them to each other on video calls. It's the sweetest thing.
