Puppy Love: The Story of Esme and Sam

32 pp. | Simon | July, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4169-8010-0 $16.99
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Elizabeth Harbour. Spoiled poodle Esme slips away from her owner, Mrs. B. Goldstein, in a city park. Esme is delighted with her freedom--until darkness falls. Luckily, streetwise mutt Samuel intervenes, and the two fall in love. Still, they must overcome Mrs. B.'s objections. Soft illustrations on creamy paper accompany the jaunty rhyme. It's a sweet story but geared more toward adults than kids.
