PS
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.
