Storytime: Muddy Paws by Moira Butterfield

This cute little picture book has been a favorite since last spring. (yes, that is how long this post has been languishing in draft form.) 

As soon as I spotted Muddy Paws by Moira Butterfield, I knew my little boy would love it.  You see, we had a new puppy that we had been trying to name for several weeks and this story is about a boy attempting to think of a name for his new puppy. Just perfect!


The illustrations are soft, diffused and very sweet but also dynamic.


 
In the story, as the boy explores the neighborhood seeking inspiration for a puppy name, the puppy explores too.


Of course, each of puppy's adventures involve dirt, water and muddy pawprints everywhere--- but he earns a name-- Muddypaws!


This is such a cute book and my little guy recommends it highly. Here is his review!

  2. Thank you! Maybe you have some potential guest reviewers hanging around your house too? I'd love to make this a recurrent feature if readers like it and find it useful-- they can get the scoop right from the target audience!

    My potential guest reviewers run away when they see me approaching with the camera! =P

    But it seems that Talon is a rising star in the book blogging/vlogging world! I'd definitely read the book on his recommendation! =D

  7. So cute! Love the illustrations in the book too! Seems like I see a lot of digital style cartoony illustrations these days that it's refreshing to see such beautiful drawings used.

  8. What a cutie! I do love that curly hair! This idea is so great -- I can think of so many reasons why it would be beneficial to make reviews like this. Well done!
