Schwartz & Wade, an imprint of Random House, sent me a copy of this book for review (thank you). It's currently for sale in your local bookstore.
Mr. Raschka has a real talent for doing illustrations that express emotions. You can see Daisy napping, playing fetch, playing with her ball with exuberance and enthusiasm written all over her face.
When they go to the park and another bigger dog joins in the fun, it all goes awry when the big dog pops the ball. Then you see Daisy express depression and sorrow over the loss of her toy. However, when they return to the park, the owner of the big dog has purchased another ball for Daisy and all is well again.
Even the very small will be able to follow along with this story. And it'd be fun for read aloud because you could just turn the pages and let the children tell you the story.
Why not check it out and see what you think? I bet you take a copy home with you.
Happy reading.
