Fun, cute, happy, adorable, interesting....... these are just a few of the words that can be used to describe this book. It is stuffed with real photos starting with the day they bought the puppy. The book is much more aimed at teaching a child how to love their puppy then in teaching them how to brush them but it hits the target perfectly and show the fun in loving a puppy.
A great book the deserves the honor of being the best of the day. Please show some thanks to the author by posting a great review on Amazon.
Amazon Book Description
"Children's Book: Puppy Love! Learning The Fun Way To Love & Care For Your First Dog" is a book about loving and caring for your first dog.
Puppies
are so cute, cuddly and down right irresistible and Coco was no
exception! From the moment we laid eyes on her, there was just that
something about Coco that yelled out "TAKE ME HOME; TAKE ME HOME!!"
In
his book, the author shares the joy of owning and taking care of Coco
his Toy Poodle. The photos in this book have been "chosen by Coco" and
taken out of Coco's personal portfolio just as they are. No
photo-shopping, enhancing or manipulating in any shape or form. They
will bring Coco alive and show her as authentic, cute and down right
adorable!
Puppies, no matter what kind of dog it is, always look
cute and cuddly. They excite children... heck, they excite and melt all
of our hearts when we see them. It's like they are born to love us right
from day 1. Their joy and happiness are evident from the minute they
"arrive" in the world.
But, as the author also found out, owning a
puppy is exhausting work. Even for a small little Toy Poodle!! Although
fun, this book is intended to bring out some of the responsibilities of
owning a puppy together with the joys and rewards. It's a children's
book about learning the fun way to love & care for your first dog.
Children
are always attracted to dogs, and more specifically, to puppies. What's
not to love and draw you to that cute little bundle of fur. It's like
children can see that these animals are their perfect playmate. Puppies
have something that shares their own energy level. The pictures in this book will show the playfulness and cuteness of a puppy while the text brings a certain amount of education about keeping and caring for a dog. Added to that, the author has also included some fun learning experiences for the children reading the book e.g. counting balls; recognizing objects in photos; participating in what they see.
Just
like children, dogs learn extremely quickly and that their behaviors
have consequences. Dogs are particularly responsive to praise so it's
important to constantly praise your dog when it does something well (or
what you want). This will go a long way to teaching your dog obedience
and control.
Some of the responsibilities shared in the book are
things like walking or exercising the dog including the responsibility
of cleaning up after it, washing, brushing, grooming, health care e.g.
vaccinations, feeding, keeping the water bowl full, training and the
need for obedience. Children are helped to understand these concepts
with the illustrations and related text.
For parents of children
"begging" to have a puppy, this book will serve to help prepare them for
dog ownership. The book should encourage meaningful conversation about
the merits of owning a dog along with the duties that need to be
considered with that ownership. It will also help evaluate the readiness
for that big step of "Puppy Love" and owning Your First Dog.
Thank you Coco for the love and joy your bring!
