A mischievous dog is led by his nose into adventure and some trouble (much like small children). But home and love await his return! This is a lovely rhyming story with clear but muted illustrations done by the author. Loved it!
Well suited for reading WITH someone of any age including ESL, and great for gifting to anyone, but especially to a school or your public library!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from North Star Editions/ Jolly Fish Press via NetGalley. Thank you!… (más)

The little puppy Fergus wants to know what he should be, when he grows up. He asks his mother, siblings and all his friends, but they all have different answers. They suggest he should be helpful and charming and friendly and many more things. Can he be all that at once? He is quite worried and concerned. His mother agrees, it sure sounds a lot for a small dog, but there's one thing above all others, and that's the only one you really need to be. What will she say to her wee Fergus?

Lovely and warm hearted picture book with cute, colourful illustrations, which children will enjoy to read and which carries an important message for all of us.
As always with storytime books from QEB, there's a next step page for parents and teachers, with suggestions for discussions and activities at the end of the book.
Charming little book. Highly recommended.… (más)
