What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
None. This is a very direct, factual, and positive book about a dog breed.
Ideal Reader
A 5 to 7 year old who is newly independent in their reading and is completely dog obsessed. This is for the child who is actively campaigning for a puppy, or who just loves learning facts about different animals. It's especially good for a child who prefers nonfiction to stories.
Parent Prep
No prep needed. The book is self-contained and simple. Parents might want to be prepared for the follow up question: "So, can we get a Morkie?" The book presents them in a very positive light, so managing expectations might be necessary if a dog is not on the family's immediate horizon. The child repeatedly says, "I want a puppy!" or "Can we get a dog?" They might be drawing pictures of dogs, looking up dog videos, or pointing out every dog they see on a walk.
