Hello, Puppy!
PreSchool-Grade 1—This feel-good book shows a preschooler interacting with her pet. It opens with the question: "What's that puppy doing? She's sleeping. Puppies need lots of sleep." The simple sentences are paired with cozy pastel illustrations. The youngster explores the puppy's behavior indoors and out with a special emphasis on play and fun. The story gives young readers a good sense of the responsibility of taking care of a pet.—Katie Cerasale-Messina, AC Whelan Elementary School, Revere, MA(c) Copyright 2010.
