Puppy Love Finger Puppet Board Book: A Sweet Addition to Storytime
As a mom navigating the beautiful chaos of toddlerhood, I find myself looking for ways to keep my little ones engaged during our bedtime ritual. Between the giggles and wiggles, I often dread the “just one more book, please!” requests that come from their brightly lit bedroom. That’s when I stumbled upon "Puppy Love Finger Puppet Board Book"—and let me tell you, it has quickly become a cherished part of our nightly lineup.
This delightful book, authored by Cottage Door Press, celebrates the joyful experience of welcoming a puppy into the family. The story revolves around the adorable antics of our furry friends. With each turn of the page, my kids were captivated by the rhyming text that encourages interactive play. The built-in finger puppet invites little hands to “join in the fun,” prompting us to wiggle and snuggle the soft pup as we read. Talk about a multipurpose book!
From the very first page, my kids noticed how each illustration brought the story to life. With bright and lively colors, it felt like we were in a world filled with wagging tails and happy barks. My 3-year-old particularly loved the page where the puppy learned to “Sit”—we did this over and over as he giggled and attempted to mimic the actions. The humor in the text sparked a few small conversations about our own pet and what it means to train a puppy.
There was a moment where my toddler leaned in close to the puppet and gently scratched its head, while my 2-year-old squealed, “Puppy! Puppy!” It melted my heart. Her enthusiasm was infectious! The soft plush texture of the puppet wasn’t just cute; it provided perfect tactile input for little fingers, making the story more immersive. There’s something magical about seeing kids engaged and making connections through reading.
One page that stole our hearts featured the puppy snuggling up for a nap. The rhyme was so sweet: “Cuddle up close for a cozy rest, snuggle your puppy, you’ll feel so blessed.” Those few words resonated deeply with me, encapsulating the warmth of family and the little joys we share in our home. It also prompted us all to have a mini cuddle session, which is always an unexpected bonus in our reading time.
I would recommend "Puppy Love" to families with children ages 1-4, especially those who have little dog lovers at home. If your toddler enjoys interactive stories that prompt them to move, play, and giggle, this book is a perfect fit! It’s a book that will undoubtedly receive many readings; it’s already a new favorite of ours.
In a world that can often feel overwhelming, I cherish these quiet moments spent with my children, immersed in a story filled with love and laughter. "Puppy Love" does just that. It’s not just a book; it’s a doorway to bonding and building cherished memories together. Grab it for your next storytime—your little ones will thank you with their hugs and laughter!
Happy reading, fellow parents! 🐾
