Good for Grown Ups, too!
âGenerally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.â
â Margery Williams, The Velveteen Rabbit
As someone who recently lost their dog to cancer, I found Spare Dog Parts was a beautiful reflection on all the things that made her perfect. If you've ever owned that special dog, that friend you knew was perfect, even if no one else thought so, this adorably illustrated book is right for you.
Mismatched but Perfect Pet
Spare Dog Parts is about a young girl and her imagination. She believes that her dog was made from left-over dog parts and put together like a puzzle. She has a body that wouldn't fit any other dog, and since there were no matching sets of dog legs left, she got four unique ones instead. Even though the dog is looks strange, she is a perfect friend for the little girl.
This is such a sweet book. Kids love their pets, even if they look weird. Kids always think their pet is perfect.
The text is simple and sweet, each word chosen with care. The illustrations are also fun, adding to the story alongside the text. I love the white lab coat the little girl wears and the connection she has to her pet.
This is a good book for pet lovers ages 4-7
