I absolutely loved this book. It made me smile and it has a very good message for young girls.

I read this book because it was about dogs. Usually, I don't like animal books, but this one isn't an "animal" story. MY BOYFRIENDS' DOGS is about growing up and remembering to be yourself. It states that you don't have to be a perfect girlfriend. You can't lose yourself to please a guy.

The heroine of this story is Bailey Daley. When we first meet her she is wearing an evening gown, is walking three dogs, and is in a sudden downpour. She runs into a diner and ends up telling the owner, the cook, and a customer three stories about how she got her dogs.

The stories are compelling, especially the last one. Bailey is very likable and so is her mother. I loved the message and the writing.

I am going to recommend this book to all of my students, and I hope some of you will pick up this story, too!
