I received an ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for my unbiased opinion.

Luna is an emotional therapy dog, close to receiving her fifty-visit pin. She acts differently with each of her clients, based on their emotions. When four of her clients are put together in a group therapy session, she isn't sure if she can be what all of them need at the same time. When one of the boys doesn't show up to their group session one day, the other children decide to go out in search of them, and Luna goes with them because she wants to keep them safe.

My favorite part of this book was Luna's descriptions of various feelings. They were cute explanations and will help children who read this book learn about various feelings. I thought it was weird that the dog talked about colors like pink when dogs don't see variations of red. Overall, this was a cute story that I hope children will enjoy.

I want to thank NetGalley and the publisher for providing the audiobook in exchange for an honest review.
This is a sweet story of Luna, a Labrador Retriever who is a therapy dog and embarks on an adventure with her “clients” as she calls them. The story is told from Luna’s perspective creating the mood very light and funny.
We see each of the kids grow throughout the story as Luna helps them through it.

What a wonderful story!!! The lives of so many are enriched and enhanced by service animals. Luna Howls at the Moon is the story of a Labrador who has always dreamed of being a service dog and is one visit away from her official certification when the children she has been helping are formed into a therapy group. As Luna worries that she will not be able to help all of her children at one time, the group must search for one of their members, with help from Luna of course! Even with a synthetic voice, they story was enchanting. A great book for any child who has questions on service dogs or emotional therapy. Let Luna help you help them.

This book was very sweet. I picked it up because I always love how Tubb always takes her time to research working animals before she writes these books.
I have a service dog of my own and getting to read stories about other animals like him. I love him so much and this book really filled me with the type of happiness I only ever feel when I am with my dog.
Any of Tubb's books I would recommend to anyone who loves dogs or for kids who have a service animals. This is a fantastic book. Its so cute and full of so much joy.
