Adorable book! My nieces, 5 & 9, loved it. It gave us the chance to talk about how not all animals have a home and the benefits of rescuing a homeless animal. The girls also liked how everything rhymed.

A story about the adventures a dog named Maxi, who was rescued by a taxi driver, has in New York City.

Maxi, a homeless mutt in New York City, has always fended for himself. Then one day a kind taxi driver named Jim offers him friendship, a home, and a place in the front seat! From that moment on, Maxi and Jim revel in the sights and sounds of the city, and share all sorts of wild adventures-from rushing two clowns and a chimp to the circus, to singing duets with an opera diva!
