Remember when paintings done by animals were...hmmm...I don't want to say popular, but some sold for quite a high price. Today's read did remind me of those, although I'm pretty sure this one heads in a different direction. After reading the blurb, I'm expecting a bit of mischief, giggles, and cute fun. Let's just take a peek and find out.

MY TIDBITS
A little mischief turns into an adorable tale and even holds a twist of creative inspiration.
It's Bob's birthday, and while he's suppose to be patient, he wants to play...especially with a cake on the table. After an unexpected mishap, Bob knows he's going to be scolded. Instead, things take an unexpected turn.
Not only puppy fans will giggle and smile at Bob's antics. He's a cute dog, but it's his mishap with a cake, which will have readers' eyes opening wide. The approaching trouble is clear and is something young readers will identify with as they recall similar situations in their own lives. Sympathy turns to surprise and rolls into positive scenes to make this a read filled with good vibes. Then, at the end, readers are encouraged to create similar pieces of 'artwork' and thanks to detailed directions.
The illustrations are well done and bring each scene across nicely as the tale runs through various emotions. Details invite to gazing, but then, much of the story is told through these bright scenes. The text is kept to a minimum and, sometimes, falls away completely to allow the images to show several moments of the story. This makes it lovely as a read-aloud and invites those readers, who are beginning to have a grip on their words, a chance to read the book themselves.
A message surrounding forgiveness accompanies the humor and heart, making this an enjoyable read in many ways.
