Love the letters. Someone should let Arfy be their dog.
Can be used to teach letters and reasons why!

Readers will find it impossible to NOT fall in love with Arfy, a clever letter-writing pooch searching for a forever home on Butternut Street. As his options dwindle (even his letter to the boarded up house at the end is "Returned to Sender"), an unexpected friend writes to Arfy with a wonderful proposal: "Can I be your person?". Cummings' sweet and often funny story blends seamlessly with his bold and colorful digital illustrations to create a fun read-aloud story with heart and hope. A short note from Arfy in the backmatter also offers simple ways to help homeless animals.

This book is so precious. The amount of times I was saying “aww” is ridiculous.

I love this little book so much. It's great for read-alouds with lots of fun voices. Plus, it gave me chills at the end cause it's so sweet.

Troy Cummings has written a clear winner. Arfy is an adorable dog who is looking for a home. He writes letters to the different residents and businesses of Butternut Street, hoping to find a home. He is disappointed each time, which only sweetens the ending.
Cummings' illustrations are warm and funny, and perfectly complement the text. The letters that Arfy writes are sweet and clever, and the letters that he receives are varied in style and appearance, which adds to the authenticity of the story.
Children and adults alike will enjoy this book, and will want to read it again and again.
