The actual baby LOVES this book because he likes the furry tale... However, Momma really hates the last page! I think the author wrote four pages that make sense, with good illustrations and sensory things to touch. Then they took LSD and decided to write the final page of the book. I cannot confirm this, but it seems the most likely scenario.

An exploration on the thoughts of the canine species.

Appealing to the very, very young due to the black & white motif. The tail is too much fun.

My baby’s first book! Looks like a puppy got a hold of it, since she chewed it so much.

That ending came out of nowhere.

We have the matching JellyCat puppy and my 11 month old son has been obsessed with this book for months.

What I enjoyed the most was the plot's twist at the very end, ending on a high note. I don't agree, however, with the author's choice in the first person voice. Overall, it's worth the read, a board turner.
