The rhyming text and colorful pictures alone will capture the attention of readers but this is no simple story! The story told would be the perfect compliment to a family with young children who has just gotten or is considering buying a puppy for the first time, providing tips to share with youngsters about how to stay safe with dogs:
- curling fingers into the palm so the dog isn't tempted to bite
- gently stroke the dog's back instead of patting/hitting at him
- turning your back and crossing your arms if the dog acts like it wants to attack

Children will soak up the information in this text and then seek out more! The book provides information on the Pug, the dog recently ranked #9 as Top Dog Breeds for Families. Perhaps what I found most interesting about the text was how quickly important information could be gathered about the pug (average weight, life span, country of origin, etc.). However, much detail is provided throughout as well, from celebrities who own pugs to pug puppies. Children of all ages will be mesmerized by the information provided if they are pug lovers!
