Title: Puppy and me
Description: One of my favorite books when I was a toddler (see also Whopper Whale). It was a sort of 'day in the life' of a little boy and his puppy - getting up, playing, meals, bedtime. I recall (in a vague way) that the illustrations were photographs, but were sort of softened or 'fuzzyed up' a bit. One page shows him eating with a lot of peanut butter on his face (I remember being a bit grossed out by that - even as a 3 year old). On another page, all I can remember is a deep forest green color on it that comes to mind ocassionally. Fifty years later, I'm still haunted by the memory of that color. Once in a great while, I look for a copy to see if I can guess why it made such an impression.
