Written by Patricia Furstenberg, Puppy deals with the many reasons people bring a puppy into their lives. Not only does it deal with a puppy's initial reaction to its new home, but this beautifully illustrated book also looks at the wondrous experiences each new day brings, as the puppy learns new lessons, explores new places and finally grows into his own four paws. Although I am primarily a cat lover, I could not help but smile at the delightful words which detail each part of a new puppy's life. From finding its forever home, being named and encountering its first ever snowfall, a puppy's typical life is clearly laid out for potential dog owners in Puppy: 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles. Patricia Furstenberg's obvious love of canines shines through on each page and is truly heartwarming. I could sense my feline companions' jealous eyes burning through my spine as I 'ooh'd' and 'ahh'd' with each adorable new chapter. It is interesting to read about the many things which culminate in a young puppy's interests as it makes new friends (whether human or some other species), as well as its appreciation for play time, food and sleep. Whether a puppy wants a belly rub, some cuddles or some alone time so that it can sleep, Puppy: 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles will be sure to bring a long-lasting smile to all dog lovers for many years to come. I very much enjoyed Patricia Furstenberg's look into the typical first year of a dog's life, and am looking forward to reading more of her published works in the future." Review by Nada Adel Sobhi, Poet, Writer, Book Reviewer and Blogger at Nadaness In Motion "Puppy, 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles by Patricia Furstenberg is a fun, exciting, adorable, and a must-read children's book. Chapters are divided into months, in the form of puppy paws at the beginning, each a phase in the puppy's life until it turns one. With lots of colours, lots of love, humour, and puppies, children will want to read this book over and over and over. Having lived with dogs her whole life, it's no wonder Patricia Furstenberg would choose a puppy to be centrepiece in this book. I loved how the puppy referred to its human owner/friend as a "human pup." "My human pup was there And we spent the day together" Loved the chapter where the puppy learns that it will get a name but has no idea what a name is. It was funny and innocent like children themselves. Grown up or not, Puppy, 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles is a must-read for children that will teach them love and tenderness towards animals.5STARS
