REVIEW
In very simple text and panoramic watercolor images, this story tells us about the first experience of a city dog in the countryside and at the seaside. For the first time, she is able to run unbound by the city's organization and simply enjoy a whole new set of sights, such as trees, crabs, and waves. At the end of the day, she and her family return home. This book is recommended as it nicely encourages in children an excitement about exploring environments different to their immediate surroundings. The family's return home at the end of the day lends a sense of security important to young children. However, while the watercolor illustrations are attractive, the depictions of the dog could have been a bit more detailed and interesting. But this does not detract from the fact that this is a very appropriate book for 1 and 2 year-olds.
