I love the story line of Mr. McTavish Goes to the Library by Bon Kay as it depicts the relationship between humans and their pets. And I was amazed by the support McTavish's dog, Gma, gave him. Congratulations on BOTD!

I loved it. Its very refreshing hearing a story front the point of view of the dog. Its very good considering the target audience which is children. It could be a great bedtimes story. Would be awesome for children who love dogs

I'm captivated, not only to see the imagery and to enjoy viewing life and the owner through the eyes of a loving pet. But reading the talent of discription and detail that allows readers to see what words create. I'm sure that children would gain Alot of Moral and learning from it, and to experience. :D

Mr McTavish Goes to the Library tells of the relationship between a dog and its owner. One is pleasantly surprised to see the dog show so much gratitude towards his master. It's a delightful book.

This children's book sounds like a really great story. I like that children read Mr. McTavish's thoughts toward his caretaker and society. Great review!

The fun thing about this book is that it's narrated by a dog, which is different from the readers are used to. I think children would really enjoy it and the could take some life lessons from it.

After reading the review, it seems to me like it'll be an interesting book. Children will also learn a lot from this book, as it seems educative. I also like the idea of including pictures in the book. Well done!

"Mr. McTavish Goes to the Library" by Bon Kay is about a dog named Mr. McTavish and his owner Gma. Being a dog lover, I immediately liked this story. While this is a fictional story, I still wish our Beagle Oliver could talk to us. We would love to read his mind since we know he understands what we say to him. The story is from Mr. McTavish's perspective and going places with Gma always excites him. Gma puts his seatbelt on and makes sure he can see out of the window. Our Beagle gets the entire back seat in his hammock and he used to dislike traveling by car but learned to enjoy it when we moved to Arizona. Mr. McTavish adored Gma and enjoyed every trip with her. What a wonderful story. A fast read and a very good review.

The pet also gives us information on incidental that happened in our absence. The role of Pets in our day-to-day life cannot be overemphasized. I will love to read this book as a pet lover. Nice review. Congratulations on BOTD.
