Double-page-spread pastel illustrations showcase the joyful interactions between a young child and a puppy. Sleeping, stretching, eating, and playing are all part of their day together. The minimal text effectively uses a repetitive structure ("What's that puppy doing now?...What's that puppy looking for?") to echo a child's voice and thought process.

Farmer Will, a toddler, takes his toy farm animals outdoors every day. The illustrations show the toys grown to life size, while the large-print text describes the games they play all morning. It's nice to see this imaginative play; however, the text is a bit condescending in places. With their genial animals, the illustrations have appeal, though Will's figure is occasionally awkward.
