A heartwarming tale of love and family!
When six-year-old Allie McCray finds an abandoned puppy in a box outside her
local animal shelter, she struggles to give the adorable pup a name. But after
bringing the little hound home and reflecting on the most important things in
her life, Allie comes up with the perfect name for the new addition to their
family!
Every Day Is a Holiday is a celebration of the bonds of love and
joy we form with the furry friends we adopt into our families. And for longtime
fans of Greg Kincaid’s Crossing Tails series, it brings full circle the story
of belonging, love, and friendship.
My Two Cents:
Goodreads Rating: 4 Stars
This book is really cute, with a special visit from the dog Christmas to tie in to the author's adult series. My daughter (5) loved hearing about how Allie took care of the animals at the shelter ("she feeds them like I feed the cats mommy!") and was fascinated by the puppy sling. She loved all of the different name ideas, but Jack was her favourite as Halloween is her favourite holiday. We talked about how some animals go to the shelter and that's how they find their families, and also about the questions at the end and how, with one of the cats we adopted before she was born, we should have verified a bunch of information to know he wouldn't get along with our other cats at home. This book is excellent if you're looking to adopt a new animal. It has an information page at the end with things to discuss and consider, and helps kids understand the process a bit more. The illustrations are adorable, and Allie is just cute as a button. We really enjoyed this book! We read this ebook through NetGalley.
To Sum Up: A very cute book that helps teach about adopting pets.
