Poppy finally gets her wish to own a dog.  She selects Rosie from the shelter and almost immediately realizes how much attention small puppies need.  Poppy’s friend, Millie, helps her teach Rosie a few games.  After a full day of playing and teaching Rosie how to fetch, the girls take a snack break while Rosie takes a nap!  The stories in this series are short (three chapters) and fairly predictable.  They definitely have girl-appeal.  Illustrations on every page focus on Poppy, a cute redhead, and her white, puff-ball puppy.  In the back is a glossary, suggested games to play with one’s pet, and a page devoted to the author and illustrator.
