What a fun book to read
I read this book when my family went out camping. It is a very short book but fun to read. We have the two dogs, one is big and one is little. There sizes were so different from each other. Maggie, our American Staffordshire terrier dog sometimes hurt Molly, our Rat Terrier by accident. Molly is so tiny that sometimes Maggie plays hard with her. I am more protective of Molly and remind to play nice and not so rough with her tiny sister.
This book reminds me of my big brother. My mom showed me his baby photos. He was so tiny and so fragile. My Mom told me that taking care of my big brother is a little scary compared when I was born. I understand more when I read this beautiful book. We need to be patience and kind when babies or puppies were little. They will catch up and everything would be normal. Unfortunately for our dog Molly, she will be tiny for the rest of her life. Maggie still loves her and protects her with other dogs.
