PreS-Gr 1—Half Labrador retriever and half mastiff, Eclipse loves going to the dog park. One day her owner (referred to as her "buddy"), Jeff, misses the bus to the park, but she heads there on her own. Now Eclipse is famous for her solo bus rides and even has her own fans. The book, narrated by Eclipse herself, is definitely an extension of a local news human interest story. The photographs are large and clear and include many of Seattle's famous sites, but the story is slight, with not much to hold readers' interest.
VERDICT Optional where dog titles are in demand.
