One of the reasons I like to read and review children's books is because so many of them focus on animals. This is a perfect way to encourage children to get to know animals in many guises and to care about their welfare. Blue is a gorgeous dog and his lovely photo at the beginning of the book is important because it shows he is a real animal as opposed to being a cartoon. Children's TV shows so many animals as cartoon characters - and this is how the producers and directors save money - that in my opinion, there is a danger of "un-connecting" (if that is a word) with animals as living beings.Mr James has produced a short, well illustrated and presented book for very small children which is an excellent and fun educational tool.Well done  :)
