MY REVIEW OF Cole's Perfect Puppy
Cole loved
going to the Dog House, the local pet store. He wanted a puppy so badly, and
hoped to get one for Christmas. One day, a red lab puppy escaped and caused a
fiasco up and down the mall. Cole was the one to catch her, and immediately
knew that she was the one for him. But Christmas morning, Cole didn’t get a
puppy. He got a potbellied pig. When the owner of the pet store offers Cole a
job taking care of the puppies, Cole jumps at the chance. Now, when he makes
enough money, he can buy the puppy. Then he will have what he’s always wanted,
as long as she doesn’t get sold before he can buy her.
This was a
cute, quick story, perfect for young children. I liked how it instilled the
notion that all good things come when you have patience and perseverance. I
also liked how it included basic bible teachings. Stories involving children
and animals warms my heart, and this one surely did. The characters were
perfect for the plot. I liked how many different subjects were touched on,
giving young readers many lessons to learn about life and daily interactions,
without them realizing they’re learning. I can see this book becoming a
favorite for many children.
