Tuesdays bring the GOOD STUFF as far as readers are concerned, and today is no different because we're celebrating a BOOK BIRTHDAY!

Oh my goodness! Gus is just the sweetest, cutest, most precious little pupper boy that ever was! Oh, wait...I failed to mention the whole point of this story... his renowned patience (*cough cough - giggle # snort *) 😉.
Okay, so maybe Gus isn't as patient as he would have you believe, or maybe it's just him learning his limits, but he means well! He tries to wait his little heart out, and when that fails, and he inevitably gets into a wee bit of trouble (umm, yeah...the bag of cookies he's been asked to wait for might not exactly survive...), his bestie human friend works with him to find other ways to reach his good boy goals. One word...DISTRACTION. 😁
Think about it? What's the best way to wait for something you have no other option but to wait for? Find another place to put your attention. It's a great lesson for little ones to meet face to face early on, and a clever reminder for those a bit more advanced in years, while at the same time, it provides us with a charming little fella to make friends with. A great story with a valuable lesson and wonderful illustrations that will appeal to readers of all ages, and a undeniably fabulous addition to any school or family library.
