Along with the actual story (centered on the pages) there are tidbits of factual instruction in smaller print along the top, bottom and sides of the pages.
At the back of the book there is a short indexed list of key words and a short list of additional reading that might be helpful. This is probably a good book for families with young children to read through if they are interested in adopting, buying, or being given a dog of their very own. It will help in understanding the temperment and care of a dog.
I recommend for homes and libraries everywhere.
About the book: There’s nothing more exciting than getting a dog! Join Sophie’s new human family as they prepare their home for her and introduce her to life as a beloved pet. Follow along as they learn about bedding and bowls, treats and training, walks and washing—and even an unexpected dog show! Factual notes run alongside the simple story, offering tips that will help turn tentative dog adopters into doting experts.

I think it is important that young children realize that pets are real, living creatures - not toys.

I think the most important thing is to emphasize her responsibility in keeping the dog well, safe, and thriving.
ReplyDeleteAs a pet rescue and foster mom, I luv the message in this book! Shared #ProductReviewParty
ReplyDeleteI would make sure they understand the responsibility of taking care of an animal.
ReplyDeleteI would like this book reviewed. The Whydah: A Pirate Ship Feared, Wrecked, and Found

I think I would also most like that one to read.
I think it's important to let a child know when bringing home a dog that for a dog to be happy it needs to be taken care of properly, played with and loved.
ReplyDelete1) I'd also love to own the Bee & Me book.
ReplyDelete2) I'd like for you to review the A Lullaby for Little One book.
I think it's important to tell a child to be gentle with the dog.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to have Bee & Me
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see Anywhere Farm reviewed
When we got our dog the most important thing our children learned was the responsibility coming along with it & they are usually the ones feeding her.

This sounds like a adorable book to have. My daughters want a dog, but they can't even take care of the fish they currently have. Having a dog takes a lot of responsibility.

I would tell my son that having a dog is full-time and no rest. Kind of like having a baby.
ReplyDeleteI would like to have Dinosaur Pirates by Penny Dale and I would like you to review Hattie and Hudson by Chris Van Dusen.
ReplyDeleteThat the dog may need some time to adjust.
ReplyDeleteThe other picture book I would like to have would be Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star. A picture book you would like reviewed here on Chat With Vera would be Row, Row, Row Your Boat.
ReplyDeleteI would love to read MWD and have this book as a review as well....
ReplyDeleteI would let them know caring for a dog is a huge responsibility and your pet comes first before any other fun things...and just enjoy your pup and have fun..
ReplyDelete"Be gentle!"
