This lap book is a witty look at a cute dog and his potty training days. The colorful pages tell the story of a new puppy and how he got his name. The author, a retired teacher, wrote the book while she was a nanny for a two-year-old. In the book there are various teaching ideas for parents to use while reading the book to their children: counting paw prints, using repetitive sounds, showing locations, identifying colors, and teaching analytical thinking—all while having fun with concepts that are silly and fun for young children.
