Review: Kiddo immediately claimed this book before I even had it all the way out of the envelope! With the new dog, anything with a dog or puppy is instant love for her! To say the book had her rolling on the floor laughing with delight is an understatement.
We read it the night it came in at bedtime and she laughed hysterically! It was pretty hard getting her to bed afterwards! The book is great on SO many levels. The humor is funny to kids AND adults. The subject matter of a dog that can go wild just once, will resonate with many a preschooler as an episode in THEIR life,. AND the way that taking a dog to the Vet is handled is wonderfully done and easy for kids to understand. Marley was 2 day back from being spayed, so the timing was great to read this book for her to comprehend what the dog had gone through!
I must warn you though, by the time you get to the page with the "itsy, teensy" quote, you may start channeling Robin Williams', aka Happy Feet, voice for your narration. Especially if you've recently seen that movie. But you will really enjoy and delight in this book! I highly recommend it as a superb Christmas present for all kids!
