This is a short rhyming picture book that follows a young girl and her puppy as they play and interact throughout the day. This short story has no clear plot or conflict; it simply shows what the girl and her puppy do as the day progresses. It also does not have any dynamic characters.
However, this may be a good book for early readers because of its rhyme and repetition. Readers would likely be able to pick up on the book's pattern very quickly. The pace is consistent, and the colorful and detailed illustrations convey movement and mood very well. Children will probably be able to relate to this story if they have pets or love animals.

Large, happy images and simple, four line "one potato, two, potato" style rhyme make this perky pooch poem a peachy preschool pick.

May 23, 2019This is a quick rhyming read about a girl and her puppy, and all the activities they do together. From playing outside to getting into bed, these two have a wonderful time together and the puppy is obviously happy just to be loved.
