I Am a Little Puppy (Little Furry Friends)

From the I Am A Little... series - a series of delightful books each concentrating on a different animal. The beautiful illustrations make these titles particularly appealing, with just enough detail to draw adults and children alike into the animal's world. This story follows the escapades of frolicsome puppy as he scampers around the farm, ignoring the commands of his young master. It emphasises the importance of responsibility for a pet that children must learn, whilst also demonstrating the power of friendship. These books are perfect for children who have just learnt to read, as most of the words are monosyllabic and repeated, to aid memory retention, whilst those which are longer are phonetic, which expands both vocabulary and knowledge. The format of these books is ideal for children wanting to read and establish independence from their parents, as they are small in size, perfect for small hands, and are presented like an adult publication, which boosts confidence in those engaging on independent reading.
