A classic children’s book that has withstood the test of time. The illustrations are colorful and friendly-looking. The puppies disobey their mother, but suffer consequences, so there is a good message to the book as well. Like so many well-loved children’s books, there is repetition on each page so that by the end, the child can say the words along with the reader, even if they can’t read.
