Blog Tour and Giveaway - Ode to a Pug: I'm a BIG Dog!

If you’re a frequent blog reader, you know how much I like Jill Rosen’s Pug series of picture books as I’ve featured them on the blog before. Her latest title, Ode to a Pug: I’m a BIG Dog! is a charming new addition to the collection. 

In this story, Phoebe the pug longs to be bigger so she can join the big dog park. Many kids will relate to her predicament, since they’re often wishing to be bigger, older, and stronger themselves. I can’t wait to dive into another heartwarming adventure with this lovable little pug.
