Book Review

You do not have to be a dog lover to enjoy this book. You just need to have been told you were too little to join in. 
​​

 Phoebe the pug is back in Ode to a Pug: I'm a Big Dog. This picture book is easy to read and wonderfully weaves a relatable story for kids. Written in rhyme, this book explores the idea of belonging  and being too small to join in within the context of a dog park. This setting allows children to explore a difficult topic in a safe environment. This book makes the perfect read-aloud and is enhanced by colorful, adorable illustrations that make the story entertaining for children of all ages.

If you were a fan of the other Ode to a Pug books, you will surely want to add this one to your collection!
