Tiny the Puppy

Tiny the Puppy

When Abner and Fidelia Longbody become parents to a litter of puppies, one is born too small. So begins the story of Tiny. The Longbodies live in a house with the Cleary family, who along with their neighbor Mr. Grimbly, each experience one of life's difficult emotions. There is loss, loneliness, rejection, and worry. Through every challenge, Tiny has a very special gift to give that heals each heart. But what will happen when Tiny encounters the most difficult feeling of all? This is a gentle and timeless story for readers young and old about the magic of both giving and receiving love in the simplest, tiny way. Written by Lynn Mayapple and beautifully illustrated by Linden Eller, this sweet picture book is perfect for those who appreciate classic children's books such as "The Giving Tree," "Goodnight Moon," and "Guess How Much I Love You." Kirkus Review: "The smallest puppy in the litter has the biggest impact in Mayapple's picture book. This sweet, simple debut from Mayapple will appeal to dog lovers and youngsters who often feel excluded. An appealing story that shows insecure readers that they can be helpful. Our verdict: Get it."
