Welcome to The Puppy Place! This Little Apple series stars a lovable new puppy in every book! And it's Charles and Lizzie Peterson's job to find every puppy the perfect home.

It seems like it's going to be just another normal Peterson family trip for haircuts - that is until Charles meets Princess, a spoiled but irresistible Yorkie pup. She belongs to one of the stylists but Princess's owner is moving and can't take the puppy with her. Charles volunteers to care for Princess until they find her a new home. But it doesn't take long for the Petersons to get tired of Princess's privileged ways. How will Charles ever find the right family for this high maintenance pup?

More About the Author

I write about puppies because I love dogs. Dogs are always happy to see you, and always excited about what's going to happen next whether it's a ride in the car, a game, or just cuddling up on the couch. Dogs are also great for telling secrets to, and for comforting you when you're sad.
I live in Vermont, an incredibly beautiful state, and I spend time outdoors every day: I love to swim in clear, cold ponds, bike on shady back roads, hike tall mountains - and ski down them!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Home for Princess, May 27, 2010

By

This review is from: Princess (The Puppy Place) (Paperback)

The Puppy Place books are about a family who fosters puppies and helps them find a good forever home. When the family goes to get their hair cut, Charles meets a puppy named Princess who needs a new home. This sounds like a great idea until her previous owner comes to drop her off with "the list". You know, the list of instructions that one must follow in order to properly take care of this particular dog. Sounds easy enough, until Charles realizes that these instructions are very detailed and Princess is so accustomed to things done her way that he must follow every step carefully or Princess is not happy. This might be the most difficult dog yet to find a forever home for.

Everyone loves puppies and stories about children doing good for others. This book combines the two and makes a great read for third through fifth graders. It's easy to get caught up in the story and laugh out as you read the crazy things one must do to care for the dog. Matching tee shirts and bows? Different dishes for different meals? I don't think I got that crazy for my kids when they were babies. I think your young reader will definitely enjoy this series.

This review is from: Princess (The Puppy Place) (Paperback)

Arrived in perfect shape, nothing less than I expected.
I didn't read the book because it was a gift for a little girl.
However, I'm sure it's as good as the other Puppy Place books!
