Have you heard the news? Elmo has a new puppy named Tango! My kids loved the Sesame Street episode with Tango, so I was excited to preview this book. It’s a great book for families that have little kids and are thinking of getting a dog for the first time.

We walk through all of the steps to owning a dog, from the first day it’s brought home, to feeding and caring for your new friend. Many of your Sesame Street friends pop in to share some knowledge, like The Count counting how many walks a dog may like! My favorite part is that they even talk about how dogs need alone time in addition to play and training. That is so important!

Thank you to the publishers for a free advanced copy via NetGalley!

This is the perfect book for a young child who is about to add a dog to the family. Sesame Street characters and photos partner with a helpful, age-appropriate text. The characters teach something that cleverly pairs with one of their own traits. For example, Oscar talks about pets needing some alone time. There is also good information about puppy care, including everything from supplies, to going to the vet, to baths and more.

I highly recommend this adorable book for its intended audience.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Sweet and cute! This is a great basic guide for young kids (ages 3-7) to learn about caring for a dog. The photos and illustrations are bright, colorful, and engaging and will easily hold a reader's attention. The text is simple and clear and keeps the focus on the dog's well-being while making their needs relatable to young kids.

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!
