Pleasant story that daughter enjoyed over a couple of bedtimes.
Not as exciting an adventure tale as previous books we have enjoyed from this author but still an enjoyable read overall

So Monty, the black labrador, was the puppy in the book. and one day daisy,the dachshund, came and Monty got really scared. And then he got out of the fence and ran off and he wanted to play with the boy with the ball, but the boy was scared and backed away from him and when the mom saw what was going on she dropped the stroller and went over there and by the time she got there he was already tripped up and he was crying and the mom and the baby started yelling at Monty and Monty ran away. And then he saw some bread so he went and gobbled it up, but some mean geese chased him away. So you have to read the book, and you can also borrow it from the library.

After reading all of the other 34 books in the series that came before it, this one just felt like it was bland and full of the events that already happened in the books before it

My daughter found this book really difficult emotionally. She cried when Amelia (our copy says Amelia, though the description says Amelie) yelled at Monty. I found it quite disturbing that Daisy was left alone in her house for so long. Amelia’s family didn’t go to pick her up until the next day after school. This book was okay. Happy ending.

Bardzo podobała mi się przedstawiona relacja rodzeństwa. Rozczuliło mnie, jak na końcu pieski się polubiły, wspólnie się bawiły i spały.

This small book is full of cute things all related to love. I like the kittens and teddies the best! They are photos rather than illustrations which will help young readers learn to identify similar objects. The mirror at the back was a nice touch. The book is very sturdy with thick pages that can endure rough handling.

The only issue I have with the book is fairly significant because it's the touch and feel part. All such parts are smaller than the ones on the front cover, some being barely bigger than a 5p coin. Considering the whole point is to touch things, I feel these parts should have been a lot bigger. A wide selection of textures are used, and I feel if younger readers read this alone their hands may not easily find the feel parts. Apart from this it's an excellent read.

I received a copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review on my blog Nayu's Reading Corner http://nayusreadingcorner.blogspot.co...
