A little girl searches for the perfect dog. Simple rhyming text follows her careful scrutiny and ultimate rejection of a wide variety of canine candidates as too "posh" and "snooty," "snappy" and "growly," "speedy" and "itchy." Finally, she finds a "silly...willy-nilly" best friend who's just the right companion for her. Humorous and unfussy mixed-media illustrations capture the pups' personalities.
