This is so cute! Everything is so freaking cute when it comes to this picture book! Lucky are the kids and the guardians who get to read along because.... I repeat it's so darn cute!
Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group Frances Lincoln Children's, for the advance reading copy.
The illustrations, the presentation, the lines: is the world ready for the cuteness overload?
I guess so!

Carly Madden’s What is Puppy Going to Do? is a delightful and colourful book filled with adventure. The full-page adorable illustrations as well as the simple repetitive writing make this a lovely and easy read for your very little ones.
The super simple and interactive storyline follows several cute puppies as they play and explore the world with their human friends and families. Children are encouraged to look at the puppies’ activities and try to guess what they are about to do.
This is a very simple but engaging and entertaining book. The repetition makes it very easy-to-follow. The fun question and answer format is perfect for engaging very young children. Little ones will love guessing what puppy is up to!
The full-page and full-colour illustrations are super sweet and adorable! Every page is filled with bright colours, movement, and interesting activities. I love all the different but equally cute puppies with their friendly and happy faces.

This is a sturdy board book with large flaps to lift to see what the 6 puppies of different breeds are going to do in various scenarios. Flaps should be both big enough and sturdy enough for little hands to grab - however, they are a little hard to distinguish at first and you can miss that they are there. Colors are bright and illustrations are cute. People in the illustrations have diverse representation. I didn't like that the puppy who is sniffing ends up grabbing food from the kitchen but I suppose that is realistic. The first puppy featured looks a lot like the Cava-Poo (Cavalier Spaniel/Poodle mix) that lives upstairs with an 8-month-old baby, so I'm going to give them a copy of this book and see what they think. I bet they'll like it.

My first reaction when reviewing child's fiction is the illustrations, the lesson that is being taught, and the character development. I use the same characters that i use when I review in adult novels; however' children have higher expectations in their books, a kido will not dance around looking for the plot. The focal group of this group of this picture book are toddlers and the story is an interactive story and the young reader will quickly memorize the story. "Puppy has a stick. What is Puppy going to do?" The young reader than choses said item, plus Puppy goes on many fun adventures and Puppy"s friends look completly different than each other.I would highly reccomend "What is Puppy Going to Do?"as a first story for toddlers. Thank you Carly Madden, Quarto Publishing Group, NetGalley for the oppurtunity read and post an honest review. \

Who doesn't love the innocence and sweetness of a brand new puppy? This book highlights all the fun things that a little puppy may do. He loves to explore and play and is curious about the world around him.
The narrative is simple with repetition and there's opportunity to lift and peek behind flaps which will be very enjoyable for the little ones. Interactive books are much loved by this targeted age group.
The question, "What will puppy do?" also challenges young minds to think and verbally respond to that query. The illustrations are adorable and the diverse puppies portrayed will certainly spark and keep a wee one's interest. I highly recommend this book for any child that delights in puppies and their spontaneous behaviour!

This is a colourful board book from the Flap Flap series, which are interactive books with flaps for babies and toddlers. In this book, children are encouraged to look at what the puppy is playing with, guess what will happen and then open the flap to check. This would be a great introduction to the world of reading where predicting is an important skill to hone. There are very few words on a page and the pictures tell the story more than the words, so it is definitely something that young children can enjoy with or without adults reading to them. I would definitely recommend this book to parents of children in the 1-4 age range. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read and review this book!

This is an adorable and playful board book for toddlers and preschoolers! Each page asks the question "what is puppy going to do?" and features 6 different types of puppies. Every page has a page flap -- great for hand-eye coordination -- to turn and see what the chick is up to. It's all really playful and I like the ease of the text, which makes for a nice read aloud. The people featured in the scenes of this book have nice representation. The illustrations overall are bold and engaging. Overall this is really sweet!

This book’s illustrations reminded me of the books I used to read when I was little. Such a good throwback!
What is puppy going to do? is about little puppies who are going on adventures, but what are they going to do?
I really liked the pictures, as mentioned in the intro, it reminded me of my childhood. It was an easy read book, and I believe it will be a great book for young readers. It has lift-the-flap, so the question to what the dog will do is something the parent can discuss with the child.
Happy reading!♥️

The youngest puppy lovers are sure to enjoy spending time with this book. The text is repetitive and simple so just right for the toddler mindset. The illustrations are sweet and engaging. The puppy is just the right degree of mischievous.
The only difficulty in reviewing this ARC is that it is an e book. I would love to be able to have the full experience of lifting the flaps.
Many thanks to NetGalley and Quarto-Frances Lincoln Children’s Books for this delightful title. All opinions are my own.

My daughter and I read this cute book together and it reminded me so much of some of her favorite books from when she was younger! Her favorite page was one with the slippers. The artwork was nicely drawn and seeing all the cute types of puppies and kids was wonderful. I recommend this book for children ages 0-5, or even older, especially if they can read it together!
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an advanced reading copy of the book. Review contains my own thoughts and opinions.

For youngsters who are still getting used to having books in their hands, interacting with them and paying them due attention, this bright little thing will be more than suitable. Just a few brief questions querying what our puppies will do with particular things and in specific situations mean we have to lift large flaps to find the answers. There's little wrong with this – it's for people so small you can have puppies in their books without them demanding their family own one!

I received an advance copy from NetGalley.
I really wanted to enjoy this book. Who doesn’t love a book about puppies?? While the illustrations were cute, and the puppy was very mischievous which is always funny, I thought it missed an opportunity for a lesson. Since it’s geared towards small children, it felt like it was saying it was funny to be bad. I’m sure that was not the intention, so if that’s overlooked, it’s a sweet read.

I won a free e-copy of this book in a contest. Thanks to Netgalley and Happy Yak for the opportunity.
I didn't realize this was a lift the flap book. That didn't translate well through e-book format. I feel like this would be a much better physical book than e-book.
Cute illustrations! I appreciated the wiener dog representation. It looked like my dog, Scooby.

This is a simple lift the flap book where it shows a picture of puppy, lift the flap and ask the question. What is the puppy going to do with the slipper? The next page is the answer. This book will probably be a semi popular board book, but I feel it doesn’t have 20 years of staying power. It’s a “one and done” print.

Thanks to Netgalley and Happy Yak for a free digital copy.
A very cute little flap book about a puppy's silly antics. The illustrations are darling and it has some good concepts that kids can learn from this simple story.

What a cute book for anyone who loves puppies! I read it with my son and he absolutely loved the story and the pictures. Would definitely recommend!

Sweet book! The ending always makes the little girl I babysit say "Aww! Sleepy Puppy!"

My daughter adored this book even though she's probably older than the target audience at five. It's a novel take on a peek-a-boo style book with a question being posed and the the answer being hidden behind a lovely sturdy flap. This book will delight babies and younger children but equally children my daughter's age who are reading themselves will enjoy reading the repeated refrains and discovering what puppy is doing. An ideal book for an older sibling to share with a younger sibling. The illustrations are adorable and my daughter loved each of the different puppies. Loved it!
Thank you #HappyYak #QuartoKids and #NetGalley for the ARC and eARC,

My daughter loved this book, which is aimed at babies and toddlers. It is bright and colourful, with cute graphics and flaps that lift up to reveal each of the things a little puppy will do. Highly recommended!
