MY TIDBITS

Adorable moments mixed with artistic flair draw in with familiarity and fun.

This is one of three books in a set and centers around a puppy named Millie. Each page offers a photo of Millie as she interacts with a baby...or the baby interacts with her. The scenes are thoughtfully put together, and while staged, also let the interactions flow freely to add the touch of spontaneity which gives humor, emotions, and heart. A short text steers listeners to familiar situations to build a simple, emotional connection to what's happening. 

While these aren't complex scenes, the simplicity speaks volumes. Each photo concentrates on the actions and emotions of the portrayed babies and Millie. Young listeners will automatically connect with the children, and see actions and behaviors from their own lives (crawling, building blocks, etc). Millie comes across as a puppy to hug, snuggle, and play with. It adds tons of positivity and warmth...as well, as inspires to the lovely relationship puppies can bring.

It's an adorable read, but it's the photos which make this book, and it's fun to flip through those and smile and sigh with each one.
