Readers’ Words

Great children’s book about a lovable little fellow named Turtle! The pup has gone through changes as the years have gone by but his owner’s love is always the same. Sweetly written, made my heart feel good.

Adorable children’s book about adopting a dog from an animal shelter. Love the truth in it that rescue pets especially may need some extra TLC and time to adjust. Written in a way that was easy to understand the message without going too deep into it. Beautiful picture quality!
