Puppy: 12 Months of Rhymes and Smiles Author: Patricia Furstenberg

A puppy's first year is filled with findings, wiggles and laughter.
Puppies squirm in all the odd places, sniff all the strange objects, lick everything they can and find something to splash into even when we don't want them to!
This book of poems explores the first year of a puppy's life, going through an adventure after the other, one month at a time.
Puppy's first days, puppy's first weeks in a new home, puppy's encounters with snow and the school bag, puppy's duty to protect... What happens when puppy is full of good intentions, yet his actions go wrong?
Enjoy the stories and laugh with your little one.

EXCERPT
April: When a Puppy Is Born….

A little whimper, a lot of love.
Sleeping tight, drinking milk;
A bitsy tongue to taste the world,
A brand new puppy has been born

A toy, so small, with fur of silk.
A tiny ear; to flick and hear.
A tiny heart that beats so fast.
A mother’s cuddle is all he needs.

Hush, little puppy, sleep and dream
Of milk, your brothers and lots of love.
And games to play, places to explore,
Your life’s ahead of you, hush now.

And puppy sleeps and sucks and dreams,
He listens NOW, for one last time.
Soon he’ll explore his brand new life
And only listen when… fast asleep.

Why do we love the puppy so?
Because he’s soft and smells so sweet?
Because he trusts us so complete?
Puppies are miracles with fur.

Puppies are promise of new life,
They bring us laughter, they don’t bear grudge.
Puppies are perfect balls with tails,
Puppies love life and don’t ask much.
