Go to Sleep, Little...Pup?

Hi there everyone!
Welcome back to Satisfaction for Insatiable Readers.
Today we are celebrating a book birthday in style...and this is one book that has a lot of "bark" in its bite! 



That's right!  Today the pups take over the blog as they go barking mad for a new title that just hit store shelves near you.  It's perfect for readers of all ages, but specifically made for THEM.  Ready to read all about it?  Here we go!  Today's birthday celebrant and book of choice is....

by
Bruce Littlefield

From the publisher...
Come. Sit. Stay. I want to tell you a story. I think you'll like it. It's about a TREAT and a good dog, a very good dog who wanted to go play. But his friend was busy....



This is a storybook centered around you AND your favorite pooch, or pooches.  The author invites you and your furry friend to listen to the story about to unfold with words familiar to both our ears AND theirs...pretty creative if I do say so myself.  I mean, the concept is simple enough, but when have you actually seen it employed and with such adorable success.  The actual story reminds all of us that our time is spent so much better together than it is apart.  The mundane becomes extraordinary, the boring turns into the most fun EVER.  The simple things in life are so much more enjoyable when the experience is shared with someone else and whether they be human or one of our four legged human impersonators, matters not....sometimes it even makes MORE fun.  ^_^

So, do I recommend this title?  Umm, let's see....umm....of course...and my own fur babies do too.  Ashley sat front and center for this story and you should have seen the range of emotions playing over her little face as things transpired.  Simply called for extra hugs....which I dutifully obliged.  This story is for one, for all, for the tall and the small; for furry and non, this book is LOADS of fun.  The tale is brief but the message is clear...oh and be sure to have a T-R-E-A-T ready at the end for your tail wagging friend.  Just a precaution.... (--Ashley, two cookies is quite enough....okay, okay, one more....--)

Until next time....*arf*arf*....or um, happy reading!
