Sneak Peek
Review:
This is an absolutely adorable book. Isabella learns some tough lessons when she has to "babysit" her puppy Baxter to keep him from bothering her mother. She has to find creative ways to keep him out of trouble and from making a lot of messes.
At the end of the story, when "mom" goes to find them, she sees them both cleaning up. What a great way to show little ones that cleaning up can be fun and rewarding.
A short and sweet story that would make a nice addition to a child's ebook collection! Especially for only $0.99 on Amazon!
