MY THOUGHTS: 4 OUT OF 5 FLEURS DE LIS

I read this book along with my first grader.  We have a dog and much of our family has pets too, so I believe the lessons in this book are important and will stick.

The book is laid out in an A to Z way that is very simple to understand and fun to read.  My child is a beginning reader, and he could read a good part of the sentences by himself but sometimes needed help with other parts.

We loved the colorful illustrations and meeting the animals within.  My son was so interested when I told him Sandy was a real dog!  Sometimes I thought the story got a bit repetitive, but I believe it was OK for him.

I think every child who is ever around animals should read this book.  Learning about how we can affect others’ feelings is so important!
