And, if you're not...well, you should go check it out cause it is fantastic. As with any…
W for wags and wide smiles all around. When I first picked up Robin Stevenson and illustrator Julie McLaughlin's Pride Puppy, I admittedly wasn't expecting an alphabet book. I was, however, very excited for the premise. Basically, the family puppy escapes while they're out for Pride and everyone around does their best to help him…
