I fell in love with this picture book almost
instantly! Just look at the front cover
of the book with the adorable Chihuahua and those HUGE ears! I can’t think of a better name for this dog
than Cutie! (I must admit i am a huge dog lover though!!!!!)
When Cutie’s mom (a six-year-old girl named
Ava Rose), goes to school one day, Cutie decides to venture outdoors and
explore. The reader realizes quickly
that this dog is full of curiosity and is definitely seeking some adventure in
her life. As she explores in the dessert
near her house, she gets scared very easily!
She quickly makes a new friend however and notices tht they have some
very weird eating habits. Her day is
over before she realizes it and knows she needs to hurry home before Ava Rose
gets home!
My first graders were totally engrossed with
this book. It seems like they looked at
every detail of the pictures and they couldn’t help but show their excitement
with their friends.
This was a fun book to read to my students
and am certainly looking forward to reading other adventures of Cuties that may
come along in the future.
Disclosure statement: I received this complimentary book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. The opinions are my own.
