This is a rhyming book which are always my favorite for little kids. It is super cute to see this spoiled pooch go on a personal journey to discover love and friendship. Our plush Lily is now a member of our family and Lil Sis loves treating her like her pet pooch. An adorable book to add to any child’s collection.
As the holiday season gets nearer, you might be looking for a great gift for the pet loving kids in your life. Today I am going to share two adorable books with you! We got to see one for ourselves, and just loved the illustrations and the message.
First up, Piper Was Afraid. This is the book we got to see, and even more exciting was that it came with a stuffed version of Piper and Cornelius the mouse!
The book comes signed by the author as well, and even comes with an adorable adoption certificate for Piper. The story is so cute too. Piper is an enormous Irish Wolfhound who is afraid of just about everything, but then he realizes he is missing out on all the fun. Also the cute little Cornelius (a mouse) appears on each page!
The second book is by the same author, and is called Lily the Fancipoo.
When her family decides to take a Holiday vacation, Lily is sent to spend some time with her cousins in the country and learns that love far outweighs the benefits of material things! Children will enjoy seeing Lily transform as she lets down her guard and begins to enjoy the farm. When Lily is in her home state of Florida there is a tiny lizard hidden on each page that children will have fun searching for and then when Lily arrives in the country, Lottie the mouse is hiding!
Lily the Fancipoo also comes with a plush Lily, and Lottie the mouse!
The illustrations and stories are perfect for sharing with children of all ages, and they will love to cuddle with their new friends too.
My Thoughts:
My seven year old went crazy for this book! She loved the story of Lily and all of the lessons she learned throughout the story. But perhaps her favorite part is the lovable stuffed Lily that she now sleeps with and takes care of on a daily basis. She also loved Lottie, the little mouse who is hiding on each page. She read the book to her little brother and had him hunt for Lottie throughout the story.
This would make a great gift this holiday season. This book was written and illustrated be Rebekah Phillips, who also has more titles to share with readers (my son is already asking for Piper was Afraid!). But this is the first time she collaborated with her mom, making this a very special book for them and the readers.
You can purchase this wonderful set from Amazon. You can also learn more about Rebekah and her work on her website.
Little girls, and those young at heart or fond of Maltese puppies, will fall in love with Lily the Fancipoo—the newest book by Pawz Publishing. It is a beautiful hardcover title for kids ages 5-7 with gorgeous illustrations and a wonderful message that “love” is what matters most! The book comes with an absolutely adorable Maltese plush toy, a plush mouse named Lottie who follows Lily throughout the story, complete with an adoption certificate! Lily's hair is perfect for adding barrettes just like in the book. Another Pawz title, “Piper was Afraid," is the first book in a series of seven by author and Illustrator Rebekah Phillips. This beautifully illustrated hardcover book teaches children to be brave...especially at bed time! The book is intended for children ages 3-5, who will have lots of fun getting louder and LOUDER as the words get larger and LARGER! The book set comes with an adorable plush Piper toy complete with his bowtie and, yes, an adoption certificate. The set also includes Cornelius the mouse who is a hidden character on each page throughout the book. Children will have fun looking for Cornelius as he hunts for his cheese throughout the story.
