Wow, what a wonderful little book. I want new grandchildren, so I can enjoy reading it to them! I'll have to borrow a toddler or two . . .

Seriously, the images are strong and delightful, packed with features that can be pointed to by small fingers, as they find the objects that Rags sniff out. Children love to hear about the adventures of pet animals and will soon find themselves discovering, along with the puppy, a whole range of different concepts: colors, positions, small creatures, and shapes. Anyone reading this book will find lots of variety to focus on to amuse small children, as well as things that provide potentially useful talking points, like friends, road safety, litter, and toileting.

The book is so lively and full of fun that any new learning will just feel like an exciting but familiar story to the little ones. I can see it becoming a firm favorite for story-time.
