This book is similar to that of Please baby Please. In this selection two babies have their high energies topped when they meet an puppy. The puppy wears even the babies out and they have to find ways to get the dog to relax. To no avail, of course. The overall picture of this story is always have fun and to keep your spirits high at all times. ( )

Summary: A book about two siblings and their dog. A book that we can all relate to when we ask or want our dogs to do something and we all just say please please! From not getting in the mud, to com when we call their name. The many times they don't listen they will still always be ours. And we just ask please!

Personal Reaction: Cute book. Made me think of my pup and how ive asked all the same questions. It is a book that can get you into your feelings if you have a pup of your own.

Classroom Extension: Tell the class about a pet that you love for similar to the book and how you ask that pet to mind.

In my opinion this a good book because of the relatable and realistic plot. Two siblings beg for a new puppy and are surprised by how much work it is to take care of the puppy. This realistic plot shows readers who may also want a puppy of their own the time and effort that goes into raising an animal. The initial want for the puppy and the eventual frustration the puppy causes the siblings is very relatable to owners of baby animals, as I experienced these same emotions when I bought my bunny. The big message is that time and effort pay off, as the time and effort the siblings put into raising their puppy paid off once the puppy was trained, well behaved and much less stressful. ( )

Summary:
This book is about the struggles of having a puppy. Puppies have a mind of their own. Trying to train them is not easy. Throughout this book the kids are trying to control this puppy. Their frustration and failure is shown through the changing size of font. You can tell they are begging this puppy to do what it's supposed to do, but it doesn't. At the end of the day you can tell they are still happy to have him.

Personal Reflection:
My children and I just got two puppies. This book brought to life the struggles everyone has in raising puppies. I absolutely loved the illustrations in this book. They were so detailed that I felt like I was apart of the story. This book showed that begging for a dog to do something you want doesn't help. A puppy will do what a puppy wants to do.

Classroom Extensions:
1. Have a show and tell pet day.
2. Draw pictures of their pets.
3. Talk about pet safety.

Two siblings get a puppy who has a hard time listening to them until one day he finally does.

The children wanted their puppy to so many different things. However, the puppy would usually do the opposite of what they ordered. Until, the end of the book the puppy finally listened. Then the children were content.

Personal Reaction:

This book to me was boring and did not have much meaning to it in my opinion. However, for really young children this book may be great because of the pictures and the simplicity of the story.

Extensions:

1. Maybe read this to a pre-k class to learn about patients with people. (friends)
2. Read this aloud if a child wanted to learn about taking care of pets and how it can be difficult at times.

Puppy Puppy Please details a mischievous little puppy that gets out of the gate and the children have to chase him then gets muddy and has to have a bath. The puppy also runs over the cat and tears up paper in the house. But in the end the children love the puppy all the same.

I love the illustrations in this book. I also like how the pictures are laid out to look like you are looking up at the dog. The story in this book can relate to almost any child and their love for a puppy.

This story can be used to show children how much responsibility pets are and what has to be done to care for them. Also this story can be used to show children how the illustrations in book can tell the story from a different standpoint.

This book is a very wonderfully illustrated book for children that shows how to take care of a rebellious puppy. Puppies are wild by nature and they have to be cared for very closely, and this book is a great example of how and why.

This story is about 2 young children/ brother and sister who get a new puppy and this puppy was learning all kinds of new things. the 2 children are trying to teach them everything right and they always ttell him please puppy please!

Personal reaction to this story is so cute! the pictures are amazing and i have had a new puppy when i was growing up and it is very hard to teach them new things and right and wrong.

I could use this book in the classroom when teaching about responsibility and being able to learn new things and having patience.

In this picture book, a pair of toddlers attempt to care for a puppy. The text is fairly unexciting and unimportant. The book would be better if it had only pictures, no text. The setting of the book is in what appears to be a suburban backyard. The style of the text is repetitive and the words appear in different places on each page. The illustrations are what make this book worth reading (and sharing). There is no white space! Pictures are bold, energetic, and take up the entire page (often two pages).

Recommended for preschool and elementary school libraries. ( )

This book tells a cute short story about two little children’s adventure with their new puppy. The puppy goes outside, finds a hole in the fence, and escapes. The children chase after him to discover he has found a mud puddle. The children give him a bath once they have caught him. After the puppy has had its bath and is all dry the children begin to play.

This is an adorable book with very few words. I think the illustrations are extremely cute. The book is really told through the illustrations due to the lack of words, your imagination really gets a chance to explore. Children could really follow and interact with this book.

This book would be a great book for children to learn about the responsibly of a pet puppy. It could be used as a great interaction book. For little older children you could use the illustrations and have the children create a story. I would also use this book as a sit down and enjoy a few minutes of reading and imagination time. ( )
