About this book
This little puppy has a shiny nose. And this little puppy has soft fur.
Can you press the nose and stroke the fur? And can you find the puppy on the last page?
This lovely, sturdy board book is a chance to get young children involved in the book experience. There is a different touch and feel element on each spread, including a ridged tree trunk, shiny water, and soft fur, which the child can touch.
The very simple text echoes the rhyme ‘This Little Piggy’, which brings some familiarity to those who know it, and which involves repetition. Plus it invites the child to find the texture to touch. And each cute little puppy is a different colour and breed, which means every spread is a new experience.
This is one of a series, including This Little Duckling, meaning that a favourite animal might be in a similar book soon. Young children will enjoy snuggling up to read this with a trusted adult.
