Snuggle Puppy (2003)

According to the inside of the front cover of this book, it is based upon a song by the author. The song is also titled "Snuggle Puppy". The book follows along and illustrates the lyrics of the song, which is one of affection towards a dog. The illustrations are not especially intriguing - they feature a large, parent dog singing to a puppy. This book might be intriguing for younger audiences because of the repetition; however, I think that there are better books out there.

Ok so it's not the most brilliant work of fiction and not our favorite Boynton book but it does make H smile... So it's worth a few reads now and again. ( )

My daughter is 3 months old and she LOVES Snuggle Puppy! We've just started reading time as a part of her bedtime routine and this book holds her attention more than any other. You can tell she likes the song and is captivated by the images. As many other reviewers have said, it's fun to make up your own tune to the song. ( )

I love, love, love this board book! Which is appropriate, since the story is all about love; how much we love our fuzzy little snuggle puppies. I have such a good time whenever I read this to my daughters. They are snuggle puppies and I feel like the words are flowing right from my heart, rather than a book. The illustrations are typical Boynton style: animals, bright and cartoony, but these pictures feature a lot of hugs and kisses. Boynton's books always have a lyrical quality that makes them sound song-like, but this one is an actual song. A love song, from a parent to a child. My oldest girl particularly loves the "Ooooo, snuggle puppy of mine" refrain, and will sing the "ooo" line by herself (which is adorable). We bought our copy as an over-sized edition from Costco, and what a bargain it has been. This is possibly my favorite title from a talented author. ( )

This book is a cute, poem slash song that you could read and sing to a young child. It features a mommy dog explaining just how much a mommy loves her baby. the pictures are just as cutesy as the words, they are drawn in the trademark boynton style.

i love this book because the reaction i get out of my daughter is priceless. she giggles, and dances when i sing the words as a song. i really enjoy reading it to her.

in a classroom environment, this book would be perfect for discussing family in a younger grade such as pre-k or kindergarten. they could do simple hand or rocking movements to get them going. ( )
