“This book was super adorable. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it to my daughter and she enjoyed the illustrations. My daughter highly approves of this book she kept grabbing it to look at all the pictures. This book is a perfect read if you are thinking of getting a dog because it teaches your child about responsibilities and what it takes to have a puppy.
We both highly recommend this book, which is out now on Amazon in both ebook and physical copies but if I were you I would get a physical copy because the ebook does not convey just how stunning this book is!”“My daughter loves this book! She loved the vibrant pictures and the texture of the glitter, she loved the sparkly puppy and the fun song they sing! I loved that it showed her what we try to teach her at home about how to take care of your chores, your pets and have fun! Cute book that I would definitely recommend for any kids that love a little sparkle!”
