About the book:
Kevin has a beautiful new puppy! But what should he name her? Kevin knows the puppy is special, but he’s about to find out just how smart she is when she helps Kevin choose her own name!
My review:
When it comes to pets, they have personalities just as their human counterparts do. This is a picture book, fictionalized, about a real dog. The dog has just become best friends with his new owner who does not know what to name him.
It was fun to see all of the names that is picked and the reasons for the names but this dog has other ideas.
The book reminds us (me) that we all have an identity that makes us, us. In this case, the dog's identity could not be found until the right name came into being. Wow!
I loved the larger than life colorful pictures done by Walter Policelli. His illustrations made an already cute story even cuter.
This book gets a 5 high paws from me.
