Naughty Little Puppy Dr Leonora M Cohen

This bilingual children's story, which can be sung to the old tune, "Down by the Station Early in the Morning," teaches kids about being responsible pet owners. A puppy does not know how to behave and needs to be gently taught using treats for doing the right thing. Grooming, feeding and watering, cleaning up after dog messes, getting the puppy vaccinated and neutered are described in terms young children can understand. The charming illustrations by 16-year-old Estefani Venegas Cadena bring the story to life. This is her second set of illustrations. She illustrated "Maria Loves Mud" last year when she was just 15. All royalties from this book benefit the S. P. A. of San Miguel de Allende in Mexico, the only no-kill animal shelter in town. About 100 pets are cared for at a time and low cost veterinary services are provided.
