Join Marcelo as he learns to care for his brand new puppy and sets out to choose the perfect name for it.

REVIEW

This very sweet book about Marcelo and his first puppy had me smiling all the way through. (And wishing I had a puppy of my own!)... Mayra touches on the responsibilities of owning a puppy while keeping it simple so even a very young child can understand both the love and work surrounding having a puppy... I definitely recommend this book for children - especially those who have a love of dogs. This short and sweet book will be the perfect present.

EXCERPT

On his fifth birthday, Mom and Dad presented Marcelo with a big yellow box tied with a sparkling red ribbon. The box had little holes on it and Marcelo wondered what they were for.

Suddenly the box trembled and shook and a yelp sounded from it.

His eyes widening with awe, Marcelo stared at the box and then at his parents. A beaming smile appeared on his face.
