Ode To Pug
By Jill Rosen
Illustrated by Stephanie Rohr
Picture Book
32 Pages
Ages 4+
AM Ink Publishing (2024)
ISBN-13: 978-1-958842-24-9
A precocious pug delights in shenanigans which drive her frazzled owner to declare she will give her pup away!
Laugh along with the snorting, snoring, and gaseous clown of the canine world as its owner struggles to reign in the messes and mayhem of a new addition. But there is nothing that a few licks and cuddles can’t fix, right?
A true delight that any family can relate to, Ode to a Pug is full of heart… and a lot of slobber.
My Review
An incredibly cute story! If you have ever known anyone with a pug, then you know just how true this story rings. The rhyming story will grab any child’s attention, especially when they hear about the pug tooting! The story flowed well. This book really showcased that special love we have for our animal companions (fur babies). I also wanted to point out that I truly enjoyed that the dogs owner was a bigger woman – I think that representation isn’t often seen in kids books. As a bigger woman myself I was truly inspired. Overall I think this is a great book and your children will love it too!
