Ellie tries, really tries, to be good as she faces temptation over and over again. But how can a wiener dog resist? There are sandwiches and trash baskets and freshly baked ham sending heavenly smells straight to her wriggly nose. Ellie so wants to please because she loves to hear “What a good dog!” but she is also taunted by naughtiness because she thinks with her nose. She smells and sniffs and it’s hard for her to be good when she gets a whiff! Children, and adults alike, will find Ellie’s tale hilariously relatable. What will she do when put to the ultimate test? Ellie’s irresistible charm radiates from every colorful, energetic page as she struggles in her desire to do the right thing. Her expressions tell the story, making Ellie the Wienerdog a pup readers will come to know and love. With playful text and equally boisterous art, this book invites readers to join in the fun over and over again. I received an electronic copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.
My rating: five of five stars
Yet another adorable book. This one really connected for me, seeing that I have a young doggie of my own. The girls loved it too! Ellie is just trying so hard to be good, but it isn't easy when there is temptation, right where you can reach. Ellie prevails and is rewarded for being good. This is a lesson that is easily applied to children. With the beautiful illustrations and lovable canine main character, this one is one I wouldn't mind adding to our library. Also planning to keep an eye out for future books, since this one is titled lesson one!
