Cute cute book! I loved the connection between the dog and how the author uses “ruff” in place of love. So fun!
However, I deducted one star because I think teaching kids actual words is really important. For example, saying “bottle” instead of “baba.”
But then I have to remind myself to not take things so seriously and reading a book that says “ruff” instead of “love” once in a while is totally fine. Hahaha.
I read this to my cousin’s twin daughters while waiting to be called for our table at dimsum. I love each page, the colors, and especially the text. Rhymes aside, it’s choc full of a loving, affirming message.
The book has ears! They're soft and fluffy for little hands to feel. The text is adorable and rhymes. Fantastic book! Looking forward to reading it over and over.
My daughter, who loves dogs, loves this book. With the word "ruff" instead of love, it's cute and sweet. Short and simple with adorable soft ears on top of the book.
