Picco Puppy Says Thank You

Picco Puppy goes out to think of all those who have done things for him. It is a book full of good lessons for young children. I recommend it.

Picco Puppy is a happy boy who lives in a safe, comfortable home with loving parents and a sweet sister, plus many friends. His mother wants him to recognize and acknowledge his fortunate life. She prompts him to recognize ten people and things he’s grateful for, and he has no trouble doing so. In order, Picco is thankful for the sun that lights the park so he can play soccer; grateful for his home, which keeps him safe and warm; glad for his teacher, who’s instructing him how to read; appreciative of his toys and games that help him stay busy and happy; thankful for the food that fills his belly and helps him grow; happy with his friends and his sister, Poppi, who play games with him and make sure he’s not lonely; and thankful for his mom and dad, who love him no matter what, reassure him when he’s frightened, and prevent him from feeling lonely or sad. Finally, Mommy encourages him to thank the readers of his books, without whom he and his family would have nought. He tells his mother how good he feels by saying thank you, and she encourages him to ask the readers what makes them feel grateful. Like the previous books, Thank You features Picco Boo!, a search to find five Piccos in a picture. It’s a sweet book that fits perfectly with the previous Picco Puppy stories.
