School Library Journal - 10/01/2025 Gr 2 Up—Finding a home for a lost puppy is a tough task, even for a human. Finding a home for multiple lost puppies is almost impossible. In this whimsical canine caper, Butterbean and friends are up to the challenge. Butterbean, Oscar the mynah bird, rats Marco and Polo, and an amazing octopus named Chad team up to find solutions. By combining their strengths and talents, they develop a marketing plan like no other—complete with printed flyers. Hilarious antics ensue while they try to care for a ragtag bunch of furry friends and struggle to keep the mission a secret from their beloved Mrs. Food. Delightful illustrations of those big puppy dog eyes will charm readers and have them rooting for every lost dog to find the perfect home. The Spicy Food Couple or even the Doorman could offer amazing homes, but the conniving canines are desperate to avoid Mrs. Hates Dogs from the Sixth Floor. A fun bonus includes wordplay with phrases like "wearing too many hats" and loads of confusion over using "moose" as a hair product. VERDICT A solid choice for readers looking for something light and entertaining. This could be a good read-aloud for those rowdy times after lunch or recess to help students settle and refocus. - Copyright 2025 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
