Book of the Month - FEBRUARY
PICKING PICKLE
by
Polly Faber and Clara Vulliamy
How do you choose a dog?
You get a Dog expert!
Meet Pickle! He can help you! He has many friends and he knows all their great qualities.
Read through the book. Which dog will you choose?
This is a warm, fuzzy read! Of course, it is! It's about dogs!
I bought this book for the BPS Library during the Summer break in a little bookshop on the north side of the Yarra. BPS students love books about dogs, so I had to buy it.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
Ask your teacher to read it, next time you visit the library.
FEBRUARY is LIBRARY LOVERS MONTH!
Visit the Library and choose a GOOD FIT BOOK!
