Denos’ soft pastel illustrations cut just the right Audrey outline (complete with flapping neck scarf), and fans will especially enjoy picking out the movie roles depicted in a two-page spread of costumes. In short order, she was spotted by entertainment heavyweights for her je ne sais quoi and quickly catapulted to fame. Growing up in WWII–era Europe, Audrey wanted only to be a dancer, but the other girls made fun of her physical hurdles: “She was too tall, her feet were too big, and her neck was too long,” and “her eyes seemed too big for her head.” Young readers will get the message: these were precisely the traits that made Audrey an iconic beauty as an adult. "In this entertaining picture book, the skills used in actual jobs done by all kinds of very good dogs-from therapy dog to truffle-sniffing dog to (somewhat alarmingly!) dog mayor-are shown in parallel to the traits that make canines great companions.It’s hard to believe life for Audrey Hepburn was ever anything but smart clothes, quirky expressions, and wistful gazes into the eyes of Cary Grant, but Cardillo makes a strong case to the contrary. A solid choice for dog lovers and those who want to better appreciate how dogs help humans." - Kirkus Reviews "The joy in the illustrations is palpable, and seeing the many ways dogs help humans will be especially touching to dog lovers. Delightful, vibrant, and boldly outlined illustrations extend the text, depicting an inclusive array of dogs, children, and adults and incorporating amusing details (one building's address is "K9") and sweet moments." - Booklist
