This was the first children's book to write honestly about the issue of pokyness. The subject is introduced in a gentle manner so as not to unduly embarrass a young listener who is struggling with pokyness. As someone else put it, "the puppy is the child who has failed to progress beyond the mirror-stage, surely." I couldn't agree more, or recommend this more highly for any parents with poky children.

My name is Nick and I am 12 years old. "The Poky Little Puppy Follow's His Nose Home" is about a group of five puppies who want to go on an adventure. Their mom tells them they can go , but she also tells them to stay away from cars and they must be home by dinner time. Eventually they find cars in the city and they have to leave, but they get lost while they are in the city. So the poky little puppy uses his very good puppy nose and eventually returns from home. I liked this book because it is an adventure that little kids can enjoy. I would recommend this book for kids that are 4 or 5 years old.

The poky Little Puppy was my favorite as a child. I found that my nephews and neice loved it. It teaches why it is important to obey your parents.

When I was a child I absolutely LOVED this book. My grandma tells met hat she used to read it to me atleast 5 times a day...and she soon memorized the whole book and would have been able to recite it too me if only i didnt have to see the pictures. I remember loving this book as a child and I saved my copy to read to my children when I have them. I definately recommend this book for your child.

the poky little puppy is one of those stories everyone has had read to them as a child, and one everyone will read to their children. it has been one of the top selling children's books from its creation. it's one of the best there is.

So long as their are children and puppies, mothers, and dessert, this will remain timeless and always fresh. My sister and I loved this as children and this is now a favorite of my two little boys. Delightful as always. May you keep on truckin` Poky Little Puppy.

This is the sweetest little book. I read it when I was a little girl, and now I am going to buy it for my soon-to-be-born baby. I have always thought of the poky little puppy as a hero for the ones who stop to smell the roses.

This is a children's book about a slow puppy and his brothers. The slow puppy always seems to miss out on things, especially dessert. The book was illustrated by Gustav Tenggren. Interestingly, although the book was first published in 1942, in 1995 it was the number one best selling hardcover book for children!

The original "Poky Little Puppy (Little Golden Storybook)" is the best-selling children's hardcover book of all time according to the Time Almanac 2000. This was a classic tale about a curious little puppy who loved to explore the outdoors. This theme is used in "The Poky Little Puppy's Counting Book."

I like the sturdy shape book as it had thick pages and the pages are in the shape of the puppy. On the front cover, you see the adorable puppy. When you turn the book over, you see a butterfly sitting on his tail.

In this story, Poky goes for a walk and sees 10 interesting things. As you can imagine with a counting book, each page reveals an increasing number of items. There are caterpillars, baby birds, kittens, turtles, frogs, honeybees, strawberries, ladybugs and fireflies. On the last two pages, all the animals, bugs and plants reappear in lines so you can encourage counting.

If you are looking for books which are on the list of best-selling children's books, look for "The Tale of Peter Rabbit (2nd)," "Scuffy the Tugboat (5th)," "Green Eggs and Ham (7th)," and "The Cat in the Hat (8th)." These are the classics we all remember well. If you have trouble finding this book, look for the super shape version.
