Amit wants a puppy. He wants a puppy. He wants a puppy. He wants a puppy.
But his parents refuse.
For me, that was the hook.
And thanks to my book clubs and the number of conversations we’ve had about wanting pets but not being allowed to get them, I know that this is practically universal.
Puppy Trouble goes further, though, because a puppy does come into Amit’s life. Unfortunately for him, however, everything isn’t as exciting as he imagined it would be.
A fun book that made me laugh at all the right moments, Puppy Trouble is another Hook Book that brings illustrations and text together perfectly. I love how this short story takes us through so many highs and lows – hope, disappointment, resentment … It’s a happy addition to a delightful set of books for young readers!
