The Poky Little Puppy by Janette Sebring Lowery

3.0

This is a cute title that I enjoyed as a child. I was glad to read it again as an adult and I can understand why it's a classic, but I don't know that it's one that I would need to read over and over again nowadays. I think it works well for the younger audience, but it is also a book that has lasted so long due to nostalgia (adults choosing the book for the child instead of the child choosing the book). It's a little too long to be a read-aloud, and there's not much of an ending.

For: puppy and dog fans; readers wanting a book that stresses the importance of listening to one's parents.

Possible red flags: some readers may find it too long or anti-climactic.
