A Small Brown Dog with a Wet Pink Nose

This charming picture book tells the story of Amelia, a young girl whose heart is set on having a dog. When her parents aren't ready for a real pet, Amelia's vivid imagination brings 'Bones,' a small brown dog with a wet pink nose, to life. Their adventures are sweet until Bones 'runs away,' leaving Amelia sad. Her parents, witnessing her genuine grief and the depth of her desire, are moved to consider a real canine companion. It's a gentle narrative about imagination, persistence, and the love between a child and her family, culminating in a joyful resolution.

Amelia wants a dog, needs a dog, and believes she simply cannot live without a small brown dog with a wet pink nose. Her parents think she can. Rather than begging or pleading, Amelia adopts an imaginary dog named Bones. But when Amelia's make-believe pup runs away, her parents are in for a real surprise!
