Summary:
This book is about a family who wants to adopt a puppy. At first they bring home a young puppy but then they realize they're still missing something so they go back an get an older dog too.
Summary of Professional Reviews:
This book makes readers feel warm and happy when they put it down. The illustrations in the book are very interesting and are quite odd for example mom wears a nose ring and dad wears and earring. This is not something you would see in a typical children's book but the illustrator makes it work. This book will be a favorite for children and will also be one the whole family will enjoy.
Review by Anthony Germani:
I believe that this book is excellent. The idea of having mom wear a nose ring and dad wear and earring shows that just because they look a certain way does not mean that they are bad parents. This is good for children to see because their parents might stereotype people who look like this so it is good for them to see that just because they look like this does not make them bad people. This book has a strong message and is great for young children.
This book would be useful when teaching:
I would use this book when teacher a lesson on the life cycle of animals. This would be great for a science lesson because students can learn that just because the puppy is young and full of energy does not mean that the old dog is not a fun one to have. They will learn how dogs age and the differences between old dogs and young puppies.
