Our New Puppy
PreSchool-Grade 2?Two little girls are thrilled when their grandfather announces that a puppy named Floyd will join their family. Rosie, their gentle black and brown Rottweiler, is not thrilled at first but gradually comes to accept the puppy, even reciprocating the unconditional love Floyd demonstrates for her. In time, even the cats and Rosie's friend Oscar, a Chihuahua, look more kindly on the newcomer just as Isabelle came to accept and love her little sister, Eliza. This is the third collaboration between the artist and his granddaughter. The animals and the human family are equally well portrayed here as they were when first introduced in My Dog Rosie (1994) and My Cats Nick & Nora (1995, both Scholastic). Slyly humorous, well-crafted, and well-placed watercolors from unique perspectives complement the understated, highly recognizable personalities presented in the straightforward text.?Maria B.
