Phoebe is a sweet dog who loves her family and love to play. One day, she goes with her 'sister', the girl of the family with the curly hair, to the park to try something new. While things are a little tough with odd games like football at first, 'sister' soon runs into a little trouble. Luckily, Phoebe is there to show her the way.

This is a relatively straight forward tale with a white, puffy, cute dog at the center of it. Phoebe loves all those things dogs usually do, and it's fun to get to know her. The way she address the human family members is humorous and sweet. Dog fans are sure to love her from the first moment.

The illustrations are bright and cheery. It's no problem to flip through them and enjoy the story without the words (something especially younger readers will enjoy).

As the text, it's big and easy to read, making a nice read-a-loud. The vocabulary is just right for the intended audience. While the book doesn't offer anything especially out of the ordinary in the way of plot, it's written well and leaves a sense of fun and warmth.

All in all, it's an enjoyable read for a good cause.

I received a complimentary copy and enjoyed it enough to want to leave my honest thoughts. ( )
