Snuggle Puppy!
By Sandra Boynton
The Story
A parade of cuddly puppies shares one long, rhyming love song to a little Snuggle Puppy, building from a soft 'OOO' all the way to a big smooch at the end.
Why It's Special
For the kid who wants to hear, in as many ways as possible, just how loved they are — this is a whole book built around saying it.
- Big idea: Love doesn't need a plot — sometimes it just needs to be said, sung, and repeated until bedtime.
- Vibes: warm, snuggly, playful, full of rhythm
Perfect For Kids Who
- love rhyming and repeated phrases
- respond well to a predictable, comforting structure
- enjoy snuggling up during a read-aloud
- are working on settling down for bedtime
