Not only the cutest puppy but possibly the cutest book. Everything about this sweet new book from Cate Whittle and Nicky Johnston is just absolutely delightful, from the cover with it’s glossy accents to the endpapers, and everything between.

Millie was a tiny puppy when she was left on the doorstep of St Bernard’s Home for Little Lost Dogs. She’s not all that much bigger now but certainly big enough to be ready for a new home. After all, she has seen some of her friends go to be police dogs or support dogs or to live on a farm, and wonders if it might soon be her turn to find somewhere special.

When kind Nanny Bertwhistle arrives at the home, it seems like match made in heaven. Millie loves her new life, except… She really does miss her friends at the home, and having someone to play with. But Nanny has the perfect solution, which proves to be the icing on MIllie’s cake.

It is totally adorable with a really great font, perfect-in-small-hands size, short chapters and exquisite illustrations.

Your little newly independent readers will lap it up, and with themes of belonging, love, friendship, caring and kindness, a great read-aloud as well. Loads of puppy recommendations for this gorgeous new book, the first in a series destined to be very pup-ular! 🐶🐶🐶🐶🐶
