I bought this book for my son because I remembered the title and cover from when I was young. Had I remembered the story I would not have purchased this book! It's just terrible. What idea is to be gleaned from this? If it is that being pokey doesn't pay the concept is lost on me as the puppy benefits from it 2 out of 3 times. Seems kind of old fashioned and cruel if you ask me. Would not recommend this to anyone. Also, the book itslef is not well made at all.
