A Perfect Place for Ted - Hardcover
A little dog named Ted sets out to find his perfect place, but no matter where he goes, he doesn’t stand out. Will anyone ever notice Ted?
Ted has lived among the dogs at the pet store for as long as he can remember. But there are so many dogs there, nobody ever chooses Ted. So he decides to go someplace else — someplace perfect. But Ted can’t fly through the air like the circus dogs, and he doesn’t have fancy pom-poms like the show dogs. Just as he loses hope, he sees a sign: Wanted: Perfect Pet. Little animal lovers will be tickled along with Ted at the unusual household that finally becomes his perfect place.

Review:
If readers aren’t loving Ted by now, they have no heart. ... The illustrations, with their muted color scheme, nicely complement the deadpan humor of the text and are sprinkled with details that young readers may enjoy discovering. ... This humorous story with its lovable protagonist is a keeper.
—Kirkus Reviews
Rudge finds low-key comedy in a dog’s search to be noticed. ... Gentle colors with squiggly, penciled-in details give each page tranquil charm: fancy hairstyles, flower petals, flags, and ferns fill the spreads like wallpaper patterns. It’s a quiet, small-scale story with an atmosphere that’s free of suspense.
—Publishers Weekly
Illustrations done in pen, ink, and collage enhance this charming story.
—School Library Journal
Rudge’s soft illustrations in pencil, ink, and collage feature many patterns and amusing details for children to find. Dog and cat lovers especially will enjoy this one, with its many different breeds to admire as well as lots of feeling and heart.
—The Horn Book
Joyful... Ted's predicament is analogous to that of a child who, for all his good qualities, simply does not stand out. ... Ms. Rudge's color-pencil and collage illustrations deliver Ted into an unusual household where, for once, he cannot but stand out.
