I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.The illustrations that accompany this book are nice. This is a cute story about how eating vegetables is good for a dog's body [a concept easily transferred to our own human bodies], and shows how our parents have our best interests at heart when they sneak veggies onto our plates. Some portions of the language may be beyond the simple grasp of a 3-5 year old child and there are moments when I personally found the sentence structure to be awkward, but both of these can be easily adjusted by the reader/parent/librarian/teacher who is sharing the story. Lots of opportunity for a child to connect with the story [and, specifically, the character of Delta] in both comparison to themselves and in comparison to a pet. I would recommend this book to those who discuss pets and/or health choices with small children ages 4-7.
