A Puppy for Annie;

The creator of FLOSS gently captures the growing bond between puppy and child.



Annie loves her new puppy, Bess, and Bess loves Annie. But what is Bess trying to say when she rattles her bowl or scratches at the door? With a little help from Mom, Annie learns to listen closely and figure out what Bess is telling her. Then the day comes for Annie to go back to school, and poor Bess doesn't know how to say what she wants — until the sound of Annie's bus returning has her wagging all over and leaping for joy. In touchably soft pastels, Kim Lewis displays her keen understanding of lively pups and the children who adore them.
