"Readers can expect a touching dog–boy reunion at book’s end and perhaps the realization that Murphy is likely to relive this ordeal the next time the boy climbs aboard the big yellow thing. It’s all so diverting that young readers likely won’t be aware that they’re on the receiving end of an empathy lesson. A hilarious, heart-tugging dog’s-eye view of life."
―Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
Henry Holt and Co.I Am Murphy and I Am Waiting
Murphy is an irresistibly cute and rambunctious French bulldog with a lot of emotions. . . And when the big yellow thing (aka: the bus) takes his boy away on the first day of school, he finds some interesting ways to let those feelings out. . .
But bothering the cat, protecting his boy's dirty socks, and tearing up the house looking for him, can only go so far. His anxiety and impatience might just get the best of him.
Until . . . a reunion for the ages solves everything.
