This review is from: Bosco's Busy Morning (Hardcover)

A fun and interactive book for the preschooler in your life!

My little guy has always had a love for dogs in his books, but even more now that we have a puppy of our own! Bosco is a chocolate lab who romps around town with his friends discovering all the ladybugs, butterflies and birds along the way. There are numbers, colors and shapes to find, as well as flaps to lift and tabs to pull. The big finale is the pop-up playground - even The Eight Year Old was impressed with the Pop-Up playground!

While my two sons are a bit too old for Bosco's Busy Morning, they humored me in allowing me to show it to them. I got a chuckle at how they both enjoyed it and checked out all the different aspects of each page. I just sat back and watched the two of them go through the book. They had fun!

Chuck Murphy's Bosco seemed to leap off the page with his puppy energy, and was a wonderful tribute to Murphy's late four-legged companion. We have a new puppy in our home, and there is something so goofy and funny about these little creatures - Bosco would have had a great time playing with our Bo.

For parents of preschoolers, finding a book that is fun, interactive, and educational isn't always easy. All of these elements come together in Bosco's Busy Morning for a charming book...with puppies!
