One day, your 2-year-old niece will read it and love it, too, I’m sure. You’re a sweet aunt, Jennifer.

Oh, it sounds appealing, as I think I ought to read it, just for myself, to help me understand, possibly or hopefully, why my two puppies always eat other stuff than what I am giving them, which is supposedly specially manufactured for them :))

I really love the books “If You Give A Mouse A Cookie�� (and pig a pancake��.all of the ones in that series) and any of the books by Sandra Boynton. However, my grandson (he’s 5, lives with us and is low in the autistic spectrum so he’s super smart but doesn’t always like to sit still for reading), LOVES the Nibbles books, Little Blue Truck series, “The Monster At the End of This Book�� by Jon Stone, and Karma Wilson “bear�� books. All are super cute! Happy shopping! 📚😃

“Nibbles the Book Monster�� is super cute but there are other Nibble books too! Okay now I’m done. 😄

I bet this will soon be your niece’s favorite book, Jennifer, and hope your nephew enjoys in the interim. ♥️

This sounds good fun, I love the cover!

That's one well fed doggie lol. Looks absolutely adorable silliness indeed <3. And the sequel too! Sadly I cannot help you with recs. Great review!

That’s true, Laysee, and as much as I’d like to bask in these days with her, the years will fly by. Thank you for your kind comment, I’m madly in love with both of them. ❤️

Ah, MihaElla, I don’t know if this will provide insight as much as make you laugh in recognition (your comment did that for me :) ) This is worth it for adults �� the art is great, if Kalman appeals to you.

With my kids when they were 2 - 5 I would go to the library and get 20 books at a time for them, (so I knew how many to take back) and we would read about 5 a night. Only problem is they get so smart that they either get in trouble like my older one who would get up to play air guitar, or get bumped up a grade, (and I so was looking forward to Kindergarten again!) Most kids books for that age are quick (and fun) reads, so I would just thumb throw the books in that section.
My favorites were anything by Stephen Kellogg, whether he wrote it or just illustrated the book. My other favorite was the Church Mouse series of books by Graham Oakley that are vintage now. (not other series with similar names by other authors).
My favorite thing was reading to my kids, so enjoy!
Oh yah, you also HAVE to do the crazy voices while reading to them.

Sounds like a perfect book for a 5 year-old!

Thank you, Rhonda, that’s incredibly helpful! I went searching after your comments, and I love the nibbles books, especially. I’m pretty sure Jane doesn’t have those yet, that’s going to be fun! Really appreciate all your feedback 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

Thanks, Jennifer! I have no doubt Henry is going to love this, especially things like the accordion-shaped Pete after he’s eaten one 😅. And Jane does respond to gorgeous art and adorable doggies.

Thanks, Hilary, it’s a little out there, like Dr. Seuss off on a tangent, but that’s what appeals to me about it. :)

Not me sliding into this comments section to steal recommendations! 😅
This looks like a fun one, Jen! :)

Federico, you should see what he eats! Kalman finds as many things she can for each letter of the alphabet 😅. The sequel does look fun, I have a feeling I’ll be reviewing that soon.

Lucky kids, Stephen! If we read 5 a night, they’d never get to sleep. Those silly voices come so naturally to me that my husband scolds me of for not seeing the point of a Bedtime story. 🥴 Still, I love your idea, and they love books, so we read at all times. Thanks for the vintage finds, and for Stephen Kellogg, who looks like a gold mine! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experiences and recommendations! Hope you have the happiest of new years!

Barbara, I think it’s perfect for 5, and UPpppp 😃😊

Steal away, Jonathan! There’s nothing as uplifting to me as the sharing of ideas. 🫶🏻

Not about dogs but fun-- King Bidgood's in the Bath by Audrey Wood. I can still recite a lot of this one as we read it so many times.

Lisa, you hit it out of the park with this one, thank you!!! I’m SO excited! Sending lots of hugs to you for the new year, and all my best wishes 🥰

Glad it was a winner for your niece Jennifer 🐶

Thanks for commenting, Maureen! Happy New Year!

No worries Jennifer, Happy New Year! 🥳

Once you've read it a few times, you can help them enact some of the scenarios. My kids have fond memories of dinner eaten in the tub.

Ha! That sounds like fun, Lisa! I’ll let you know how it goes��

"Fun Silliness" would this suit a juandiced 59 year old man Jennifer? Shame your niece missed out, but I'm sure she was spoiled with lots of other goodies. Nice review Jannifer and HNY to you!
