A Vacation for Pooch,
by Maryann Cocca-Leffler, Henry Holt, 2013, $16.99, 32 pages, children 4-7,
preschool – grade 2.
Separation. Love. Dogs and their kids. Grandpa. Snow.
Florida. Surely here is enough to keep your child entranced and on her toes
waiting for the exciting, heartfelt climax!
Emily is going on vacation to Florida to escape the snow but
her pooch, Pooch (of course!), will stay with Grandpa on the farm. Emily packs
identical backpacks for her and Pooch. She puts in Pooch’s sleep toy (a cat),
Pooch’s red ball, blanket – everything to make Pooch feel at home on
Grandpa’s farm.
Florida is so much fun but Emily misses Pooch so she calls
Grandpa to find out about Pooch’s day.
And then they discover the mix-up! Which turns out for the
best!
A lovely little book about a girl and her dog and missing
her dog on vacation. How grandparents know a lot about taking care of dogs just
like parents know a lot about having fun with Emily.
And a surprising ending that your little one will look
forward to each time you read it together.
