The illustration of the puppy was so adorable that by the end of the story, I wished that I could buy it myself! I would recommend this book for pre-k-1st graders.

Not being able to afford his desired pet did not discourage the boy, he said Summary: This book tells the story of a boy who saw a dog in a pet shop window and became determined to make the pup his own. Not being able to afford his desired pet did not discourage the boy, he said he would raise the money and be back at the end of the week to purchase the doggie in the window with "the waggly tail. He spent his time and money trying to sell lemonade in the rain, sick in bed, buying his sister a sweet treat after she fell, getting his mom chocolates to help her feel better after a bee sting, and purchasing tissues for his allergy stricken dad.
At the end of the week, he was sad and discouraged that he had less than a dollar, and would still not be able to afford the pet he wanted.
He went to pass by the store to say hi to the unattainable dog, and it was not in the window any longer. This made the boy even more sad. The store owner explained that other people had bought the dog for their son who had been nice and helpful. The boy headed home upset. Then, as he approached his house, he saw the doggie from the window! His parents purchased the dog for him because of all of the good deeds he had done that week. Talk about a happy ending!
This story can also be put into song, and the notes are in the back of the book if a reader wants to sing along to the catchy tune. Theme: The theme of this story is an important one that so many people can learn from. It pertains to the idea that if you are helpful and kind, you will be rewarded. The boy spent his energy on being sweet to the ones he loves, and did not selfishly focus on his own desires. At the end of the day, good deeds are not unrewarded, and being kind is so worth it!
Things can not always go as we plan, but life consistently works itself out. Star Rating: 5 Personal Response: I love this book and can remember singing along to it with my parents when I was little!
Sometimes I find myself being too much of a people pleaser and wondering if I should be more selfish, and this book was a good enforcer for me to keep being myself and not to question my prioritization of others.
It is so nice to be nice, and I know I will end up benefitting from being compassionate! Why I Recommend: It is so easy, especially in society today, to get caught up in taking care of yourself only and not really caring about others. This story is a great reminder to readers that being selfless not only feels good, but usually does not go unnoticed.
