I absolutely adored Puppy Day Jitters: Pawsome Pals. Shannon Mori has written a wonderful story for children who are getting ready to experience their first day of school. The way this story helps kids with the emotions they might face on their first day or even in the days after will help kids understand their feelings in a positive way. This story teaches that there is a way to learn to grow from being afraid of something new in a positive way. It also teaches that understanding and compassion for children going through the mixed emotions that come with starting school for the first time can help other children as well as themselves.
Ada Konewki's illustrations in Puppy Day Jitters are beautiful images that guide you through the story and keep you entertained as you read along. The story of the friendship between Sophia and Dolce is something kids will cherish as they fall in love with the way this relationship reminds you that someone is always in your corner. I recommend this book to anyone who has young children who are getting ready to start school, especially if they need reassurance about what’s to come. This book should also be available in elementary school classrooms for kids to read or have read to them during story time. It would also be easy for kids to learn to read on their own by following along with this story. Shannon Mori is a talented writer who should bring more stories to life that will help guide kids through the hard and emotional times as they learn and grow.
