Wonderlit Review

Pippa's Puppy is a charming, very early concept book, likely a board book or lift-the-flap, despite its 'chapter book' classification. It follows a young girl, Pippa, as she searches for her puppy in various household and outdoor settings. The narrative is simple and repetitive, making it highly engaging for toddlers and preschoolers who enjoy interactive elements and the thrill of discovery. The book handles the theme of pet companionship with warmth and gentleness. It's an excellent choice for parents looking for a quick, comforting read-aloud that encourages participation and builds early vocabulary. The illustrations are crucial for the 'search and find' aspect, making it a delightful experience for young children learning about objects and locations.
