PreS-K—This almost wordless picture book presents one curious puppy's adventures as he follows his nose through breakfast, the garden, a park, and even a garbage can. Any young dog owner will relate to this messy, stinky story, and all will love the cute puppy despite his romp in the trash. Using bold, colorful illustrations, Sias brings this pooch to life right before readers' eyes. Little ones will be inspired to create their own narratives using the pictures.
VERDICT Tough for storytime, but a great book for sharing one-on-one.

A puppy's nose leads it and its owners on an adventure. First it smells breakfast, then the garden; it even sniffs out garbage at the park, which leads to a much-needed bath. Kids will love using the puppy's thought-bubble clues to guess the next stop. Brief text and vibrant art capture the pup's joy and energy as it runs from place to place.
