This SUPER cute puppy book, like any good children's book, accomplishes multiple goals while being fun to read and see. The art work is very engaging, showing puppy positive behavior in various situations. And the book helps children (and parents!) realize that puppies need gradual exposure to new situations before just assuming that they can handle the great big job of starring in a parade.
AN EXTRA BONUS is that they are out and about in our beloved City of Austin, such a great, great place to enjoy so many lovely puppy and grown dog friendly environments. They learn obedience and leashing and socialization, while growing more and more with each step. My only criticism is that there is never a blip, a fail, and that may not be realistic for most households, so I would have liked to have seen the book show children (and parents!) how to get over a setback or two. Still though, I would have loved to have had a book like this for my 8-year-old along with her new puppy. In fact, I bought a copy, I'm sure I'll find a young friend of a puppy to read it to!
Congratulations to the authors for such a great puppy book!
Giselle Nevada has owned several mastiffs, acquired both from reputable breeders and via rescue. Fostering rescued mastiffs and helping them work through their issues led to a keen interest in socialization as a means of preventing future issues. She loves working with her dogs and has dabbled in carting, conformation, agility, rally, trick dog, nose work, and many other canine sports. Her puppy Porter is a testament to early socialization - he has achieved many performance dog titles and has done commercial work. He also has a role in a movie called Match Me If You Can directed by Marian Yeager.
Jennie Chen is a homesick Austinite who founded Keep Austin Dog Friendly. Over the last 20 years, Jennie has owned Greater Swiss Mountain Dogs and Lowchen. She has earned numerous titles in conformation, competitive obedience, rally, herding, animal assisted therapy, and more. She is passionate about the relationship people build with their beloved canines, and she has been an advocate for people living with disabilities who need a service dog to live independently. She is active in various dog clubs and can be seen on AKC.TV from time to time.
